Anyone know IF there is a difference between 1933 & 34 headlight support bases and 1935 & 36 Truck headlight support bases?? IF so....could you share how to tell?
 
Yes they are different. The shape of the fender is slightly different between them. The visual way to tell the difference is the angle of the square hole for the mount bolt... However right now I cannot remember which is which. Also the pickup one is 1935-37, and there is a big truck one which is shortened (I have seen pix, but not touched one)
 
The brackets are different


Oops on the rotation of the square hole... they are the same rotation 1933-34 Pass vs 1935-37 PU.


Photo attached. When placed on a flat surface and viewed from directly above the edge of the 1933-34 Passenger headlight mount will be about even with the edge of the bracket, on the 1935-37 Pickup bracket it will overhang a bit.

I have had several pairs of the shorter headlight stands. Ford made a spacer so that the headlights would work with the shorter stands and the regular length headlight mount. I have a couple of pairs of the spacers but no longer have any of the shorter stands.

Thank you for the response and picture, SO....IF I am understanding it all, the Truck stands have more of a "flared falnge" than the 33-34 stands?


Thank you once again
