Truck accessory update

If you read my post below you know I'm looking for clearance lights for the 1935 Chevy. I took some pictures after chores tonight. My apologies- it started to rain as I finished up chores so the truck is wet. I took a picture of the "light bar" on the cab that uses the same glass. The trucks didn't have these for farm use but it appears to be period from what I have seen. The first five years of its life it was a Texaco fuel truck so no doubt that is a holdback from that. I'm guessing the cool fire extinguisher with mount from the cab was another of those requirements. It would probably hold a cup of powder tops. I've only seen those light bars on other commercial trucks of the early '30's. I'm thinking I will move it to the back as the clearance set below the center of the bed.

All of the glass bullets are held on by a ring of wire about #9 size that you pop out to remove the the glass. I took a pic of one of the holders that was behind the back seat. It's the style I'm looking for.

I think those were probably aftermarket. They were called "Pathfinder" lights. I remember my dad sold them at his service station. The early ones were glass, later went to plastic.

Search for "nos beehive lights". There are some on Ebay.

I posted two links below that should be helpful. You can buy lights or lenses. You may have to buy individual lights and mount them on your bar depending on what you need.

Pretty much all trucks from the 30s 40s had those lites. Have a 46 Studebaker 1 1/2 ton with them. One of the previous links had some cool old looking lites that I would use.
