CCKW headlights

I had a question. Looking at the picture at the top of this page, the headlight "housing" seems alot smaller than the one on my CCKW. Mine is a '44 while the one illustrated is obviously an earlier production one. Was there a difference between the early and later CCKWs as far as the headlights?

Thanks, Hammerhead

Hi

Some CCKW's in European armies after WW2 had different headlamps fitted, which were smaller, could yours be one of them??

Regards

Rob.

My truck cam from Holland and the head light bulb was smaller , it was fitted with a adapter and once it was removed the bucket was the same i got new head lights from NAPA .

Sealed Beam Headlights are very uncommon in Europe. Maybe the Jimmy in the picture was refitted with european style headlights.

The photo on the top is Steve Keith's (aka Dr Deuce )I believe the lite pots are the same as those generally found on G508 and G506 vehicles

The perspective of the photograph may make them appear smaller, is this your question?
