Guys, I have just found some rocking horse s**t, or something near enough to it; a set of brand new headlight buckets to suit the old tart. The set that came with the truck were ordinary to say the least. In fact one was completely and utterly rooted, to pardon my English/ Australian. Rusted right through with the thinnest wafer of metal holding it together. Well, I have since discovered that there is a pickup supplies shop up north whose name I will not mention rips people off to the tune of making over 100% profit on everything they sell, and sadly, if you need stuff, there is not a lot of options. Well, guys, I have found a couple of gems! 2 brand new 1956 Headlight buckets for less than half the price these other mob are charging.
One thing I learnt along the way was that the 1953-55 buckets differ from the '56 in a couple of ways. I believe the '56 may have one extra spring mount and a quick way to spot the difference is you will notice in the '56, there is no curved edge of the face of the bucket. Have a gander.
