Customs How To Mildly French a Headlight for $1

From This . . .
to This . . .

The trick is to find an International Harvester Travel-All grille with this bezel for just $1!

 

That’s a huge improvement, no more “bug eye”.

 

The depth of the light is different in both photos. So the entire bucket has to be recessed I'm guessing. But kinda neat.

 

Cool trick but what year Travel All?

 

Wonder if that could be easily used on a 57 Ford and eliminate their bulging bug eye?
You may have really hit on something, and the IHC grille market will be equal to 32’s.
It made quite an improvement.

 

Of course. $1.00 International parts are common everywhere.

 

64-67 are one style 69 to 75 are another. And easily found

 

Well, it was 20 years ago -- and several years of IHs had the same trim in the grille. For me, it meant no body work.

 

Killer idea I just commited to memory! Might look for my GMC

 

I've used the 1956 Ford F100 Pickup Headlight bezel's on a few builds, like there made for the 57' cars! Look way better!

 

I thought it was a burner cover off the kitchen stove.

 

Is it the same car?

 

No -- but similar. Here're two shots of my $500 54 Plymouth. Kinda hard to see the headlights -- look in the back of the machine you're using.

 

And here's why it's banned on this site. Just last week someone asked me how the headlights were done -- so here it was. Pardon the brakes and trans. and such . . .

 

Awesome ride. And @pgan digs it
