BulldogLover Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Has anyone ever tried to put a R model bucket and bezel in a RD? There is a guy running around here where I an that has 1 R model headlight and 1 RD in the same hood. I haven't been able to catch him stopped to ask him if it was a bolt on thing or if he just stuck it in there to keep the DOT off his back. Any input or ideas on this? I like the look of the old headlight better if I could do this conversion.

Vladislav Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 If you mean that guy runs RD with a round headight in a suare bezel to fit a RD newer hood suare opening it was a factory option for some RD's. Sure they had them on both sides when new. There was a talk on that on here recently. Just a couple weeks back. I'm not ready to point you to it right now.

VT Mack Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Round headlights are available on RD's Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47500-r-model-headlight-in-a-rd/#findComment-350528 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulldogLover Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Not exactly what I was talking about, but interesting. I think the later R models had a headlight bucket that went inside the hole on the hood that then held the bezel and the metal housing, Like these.

Vladislav Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 No. The headlight bucket was fitted right onto the hood. With the bezel (chrome ring) on the light unit. The outside stainless steel plate attaches straight to the hood either with screws. No real connection between the bucket and the plate.
