    Anyone tell me what these headlights are from?
    Have DPDC symbol on the mount. Must be Mopar of some kind with seal beams.

    Judging by the shape, I'd say 1936, 1937, 1938. It seems the big trucks were the first to use the seal beams about that time.

    I think the above is right for years. I suspect it has an old sealed beam conversion done on it.

    I believe maybe not seal beam conversion, looks too integrated?

    No mopar sealed beams until 1940. Looks like 36-38 pickup with conversion kit.

    Mr. Dave Agosti, If you do not mind me hijacking your thread to ask for an ID on another set of headlights - as long as you've got the headlight ID folks attention - I would like to find out what this pair is from. Many thanks. They have integral parking light bulbs. I found them in a New Zealand shop.

    Way too pointy for any Ford Headlight bucket I've ever seen.
     
  10. Definitely not Fordl. The Ford lights had a recessed pocket on bottom that the headlight stand fits up into, and Fords used a hollow mounting stud with the wires routed through the mounting stud. Could be almost any make of big truck, bus, etc. as the big truck manufacturers outsourced parts like headlight assemblies, and the same headlights could be on a dozen different makes of trucks.
