Title: 1938 Chevrolet headlights
Post by: WZ JUNK on October 16, 2007, 12:07:09 PM
I am trying to piece together headlights for a 1938 Chevrolet.  I have the new lenses, the reflectors and the buckets but I think I am missing the piece between the bucket and the reflector.  I found a parts picture but it is not very clear.  Do you know what part I am missing?  I think that this may be the part that is needed for adjustment of the lights.

Wow,  thanks a million.  That site is amazing.  I bookmarked all of that.

Looks like I am missing some pieces.

Yeah, and I don't recall those pieces being sold as reproductions either.  I remember seeing headlight buckets being sold, but not the parts you're looking for.  Hopefully someone will have some laying around or will know a good source.

You might want to give * Moffitt's Chevy Parts a call at 937-325-7861.  I know they do carry some used parts.  I wouldn't buy anything like a fender from him unless I saw it in person first (their idea of great shape and mine differ greatly), but you ought to be safe with parts like you're looking for.
