Early segments of "The Waltons" (i.e. emulate 1933-35) show the AA truck with inserts/sealed beams.

Google AI indicates "GE Company introduced sealed beam headlights in 1939."

So there may have been some "stretch" in the series. Verified at the Wikipedia site.

The series finale, "The Revel," revolves around a party and the invitation date is given as June 4, 1946. A span of 13 years is therefore covered in nine seasons. There are some chronological inconsistencies, most of which do not hinder the storyline. The episode depicting the attack on Pearl Harbor was actually broadcast on December 7, 1978, (a Thursday that year), which coordinated the memorable month and date on which the attack occurred, but not the day of the week (which was in reality a Sunday early morning), but on which day the series was broadcast.

Reports are there may have been as many as three different "John Boy's Trucks" used in the filming of the series.
