    Hey guys..I’m trying to find some replacement reflectors and can’t seem to ID these by measurements. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    That spring loaded retainer looks like early Ford. The bucket doesn't have the adjusting screw that Model A's had. So they might be '32-4 commercial.

    They did come on a tripod looking thing. Thought maybe leftover war/military stuff?

    Yeas that’s a 1935 to 1939 ford commercial headlight but your is also a COE. As the mount is higher up on the bucket as the smaller truck is by the ring. The reflectors are the same as well as all the other parts.. image.jpg

    So, any 35-36 p***enger internals should also work on the commercial buckets.

    That lens looks like it came from the hardware store.
