    I think the shallow ones are '30-31 Ford truck.

    Check carefully for stamping in the body of the lights, usually found on the top surface near the headlamp door.
    If there, is will give you the manufacturer name and a clue to their origin.
    The shape of the RH pictured lamps is almost identical to a 30-31 Model A Pickup but the mounting is not.

    Like, what are headlight buckets used for? Or what these particular ones are from?
     
  6. Does the light on the left have the Ford logo and Duolamp stamped on top? 38 Ford truck?

    Always a smart *** in the group.

    The bullet shaped one has nothing on it that i could find, will look closer later. the other two do but was full of paint, will look later also.

    They were invented to improve aerodynamics, right?

    I just picked up two lights like the one on the left, after blasting them I found the manufacturers name on the back at the tip of the housing. I dont remember what they said but they are some of the longest lights I have seen.
