Technical Guide look a like head light ID help

Well i think they are guide look alike lights on our 32. Unfortunately the park light on one went awol ,so we need help as to where to find another park light lens .Any help appreciated.

 

Dietz maybe?

 

Looks like a Guide or BLC.

 

Maybe look in a paddock far far away,,,cheers

 

Yeah , ok fess up, it fell out on a track on the farm , but in fairness it was already broken. Nope couldn’t find it.

 

hope yer teeth don't fall out on that track !

 

Go to the OTB site . They have all the parts, including pointy lenses.

 

What is OTB?

Traditional hot rod lighting may have what you need.

 

I did find this site , there is one that seems similar to ours . But where to find one?

OTB (is this an off shoot of Obrien Truckers) they only seem to have the shrouded type and what I think is called the hawk bill type.

 

Any Guidance (ha) appreciated.

 

That is not a Guide headlight. That type of headlight was used on off-brand trucks, Mack, Auto-car, and some Mopar trucks. I have several lenses available if you don't find one.

 

I tried to pull a set off an Autocar a couple months ago, actually. Could not get the bolts to break loose with hand tools. Had forgotten about it but they did look like these.

 

Seeing you are across the dutch, there is a bloke in Queensland who can reproduce lenses, or give it a go yourself, using a silicon mould (Youtube).

 

Thanks @nickthebandit I didn’t think they were guide . There is a NOS guide park light lens on ebay at present and it is an original with guide embossed in the lens. Apparently some of the repop lenses do not fit original light housings.
Down under we did not get these lights as far as I know.

 

Send me a side view picture of your lens as there are 2 very similar, but not the same lenses. Also a side view picture of the tin surround. nick.

 

Nickthebandit has been very helpful looking for a lens, but come up empty so far.

 

I have a Guide headlight with a lens very much the same. Side by side they probably are the same. I would just get two new pointy ones from OTB and call it done.

Are your lights actually Guide? I see no tag. But, I have also had Guide lights with no tags. When dismantled I have found 'Guide' stamped in the metal in the bracket mount area, even under the bracket.

 

I dont think they are guide.
Apparently the new repro park lights do not fit original housings< Fact or fiction??

 

A pair of rusted out lights sold for $10 on Trademe last week. Both lenses looked fine.
As did their housings.

 

Not exactly the same though.

 

Darn , the hawk bill lights, . I dont go on our local auction site much. Perhaps I should but bit late now for these ones.

 

OTB Gear has reproduced the 682-C headlight assembly, hawk-bill variety (and more recently, the 682-J). And while they look like the original, the parking light retainer is not interchangeable with a vintage original headlight.

 

Does any one have any experience with OTB Gear light lenses.
Or these ones.

for other guys looking for lenses try the clear plastic domes that have little toys in them, coin op at the mall...pix not a perfect fit, shop wisely, bring your bezel with you for trial fit...

 

I believe this looks like yours.

 

I am not sure what it came off of, I just have it in my collection.

 

This is a "Pay it forward" If you want it I will ship it to you for free.
