Alright, here's what I have for those lights.... I have (2) blackout headlights; I believe you only need one for the driver's side, so you can pick whichever one you want...(1) marker light, thought I had more... but I guess not...and brackets for each light. All are T/O units, let me know if you're interested and we'll discuss a fair price?

The lights and brackets posted by Cordell are the type you need for Lori's M. One blackout headlight for the left side and two parking/ turn signal/ blackout markers, one for each side. Here is a shot of the left side lights on my truck.

Thank You "Carter". I'm in the thinking about what to do mode! This is most definitely a learning process for me!

Tim, On the two blackout lights, you want the Yellow one for the M37 as the other pictured is for a M151. I dont know if your going to restore it to its stock look or what but you can also use the later composit lights but you still need his brackets. My personal opinion is go for the "Cats Eyes".

Got your PM so I will respond here.

You need the Yellow Blackout light and it goes with the bracket on the left. The Red light is a "Cats Eye" style lens because of the upper shape of the light. It goes with the bracket on the right. From what I see you will need one more "Cats Eye" light and the bracket that goes with it. Now when you find another one, if you get these pictured, make sure your other is a Clear Lens as they also have ones that are yellow lenses. The clear lenses are what you would see when the truck was built in 1951-53. You should start a Post on your project!

Thank You Deuce Driver.
When I find and purchase my lights I'll sure post a few pictures on my photo album! I'll try and do a better job of staying in contact but like I told several others in the past few days, I've got way too many irons in the fire!
I am really wanting to get the correct lamps so I thank everyone for all the great input! Tim
