mattb73lt Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I saw an article somewhere highlighting French B Models showing the same headlight panels, lowered headlights and lacking parking lamps. European manufactured B's?. Article could have been in the Wheels of Time or Double Clutch. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35282-wtf/#findComment-240441 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry T Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I don't think the headlights are low. Look at the curve of the fender & headlight panel. Not enough room to move them up. It looks more like the bottom of the headlight panel & fender has been abbreviated. Then there is that corner marker light.... Because I don't have any other answers I'd go with foreign built.

David Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 All that stuff and the mirrors and bulldog were on that truck originally. Probably just parked on the side of the road in NYC over nite.

Maddog13407 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 there were no foreign manufactured B models that I know of. that air cleanr bonnet is original. many trucks had that top hat style bonnet instead of the hubcap style. many B421's and B20's and B30's came thru bald on the roof with no marker lights. im guessin it was spec'ed for snowplow use or something? there is pictures in the B model archive book with blank headlight panels and separate L model style ones mounted on the bumper because the truck was too high for a standard one. im guessin this was a predecessor to that?

41chevy Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I notice on both the Euro B's the bottom edges of the filler panels and fenders seem to be cut shorter.
