Cab Markers


Recommended Posts

:SMOKIE-LFT:

Hi all;

I'm just pondering the marker lights on my truck,and wondering,is there an ultimate reason why this truck has two marker lights? Others I've seen have 3,some have 4,others have 5. Something to do with GVWR? Type of load it's built for? I just don't know-I'd like to put a couple more on my truck,but if there's a legality issue involved,I'd like to know about it.

And BTW-does anybody out there have a couple of extra marker lights like mine has,or are there some still available that resemble the originals?

While I'm thinking of it-what kind of taillights were stock on the 40's EH models? Don't know if mine are the originals,but they look about many years old,so they could be.

Thanks!

Speed

Speed. Your truck has only 2 marker lites because that was all that was required at time pf productio. In the early 50's the Federal Govt. made it a law too have 5 marker lites 1 on each corner and 3 in between. The cab markers must be amber(yellow) by law.

Hi Joe, the center three marker lamps on my A-40 are original to the truck and are red. My grandpa always had red center marker lamps on his B models. The B model he drove personally had green lamps in the center, and the outers were amber. I suppose the law wasn't as strict in those days.
