HELP...1932 1933 1934 Commercial headlights?...what are these?

Found these yesterday on craigs list locally...I'm pretty sure they are truck headlights, just not sure of the year.

Somebody converted them to H4 Halogen and painted the buckets with red primer then shot flat black over them and sanded thru for patina look...they were cheap...$80.

The lenses, rings, clips, buckets look original...what have I got? Thanks.

 

1928/9 pickup

 

sorry, I took them over to a Model A friend that has an original 1929 truck and his lenses are flat and fluted. These lenses are rounded. These headlights are also bigger than his.

 

Lenses just might have been switched in the last 70 years. The painted shells sure look like '28-'29 commercial to me.

 

They look like Chris's 33/34 Commercials but can't tell without the dimensions. I want a set... so if you end up selling them, send me a PM!

 

measurements are 6" from front of lens to back of bucket...outside ring to outside ring is 9 1/2".

 

we put my buckets up next to his and mine were visably larger.

 

33-34 commercials

The Deuce commercials are the same as the car only painted. They have the wiring connection on the bucket.

Your 33-34s have the wires entering through a hollow mounting stud. They are my favorite early Ford headlights. My 34 came with the original headlights but are not painted. I may restore them someday.

 

thanks tommy

 

Definately 33- 34 truck
Should be the same lens and ring as 32

 

33-34 truck-not the same lens and ring as 32 but the same as 33-34 car.

 

larry any progress on the truck?

 

No, I sold it...someone wanted it more than me...$$$

 

Dare I ask what you are planing on building next? HRP

 

a rat rod!

 

The Deuce commercials are made from plain steel - I think the passenger car are stainless. I could be wrong but I have a pair of original '32 commercial buckets and they are definitely magnetic.

 

you REALLY weren't asking me, were you Larry?

 

ps

nice score for $80 dude

 

hush up, you

 

OOOOH,,Larry said Rat Rod! HRP

 

hey, you didnt think you could get a statement like THAT, past ME... did you?

 

I agree but the shape is the same and if you painted the stainless car buckets no one could tell.(without a magnet) These are genuine Deuce commercials that I bought for this car. I wanted to have them pinstriped and I did. I try to use original parts.
