Did the 1935 ford pick up have 2 different style headlight buckets ? One being much deeper than the other ? Both with same size lenses ? Are both correct or if not which one. Thanks gil
 
There were 2 types of headlight buckets for commercial vehicles if I am not mistaken. Look at the bottom of the bucket to see where the base mounting rivets are attached. The further rear mounting rivets were for the big trucks, and the pickup / panel of the 1/2 ton variety had the rivets mounted further to the front of the bucket. This is why the big trucks used a lower headlight mount than the 1/2 ton's which are like the 1933-1934 Ford passenger cars.

1935 and 36 pickups, panel deliveries and large trucks used the same 50-13005 headlamp assembly. The mounting swivel stud was mounted forward as shown in duece lovers photo above.
