Default Re: 1930 Headlight bar or not?

I just took a look at the light bar on my truck,it is that pressed tin style like you have.I had kind of forgotten how it is built.The spuds that hold the headlight are part of the pressed bar,not forged like the other types.They really are a lot thicker,they have to be,they are nowhere near as strong as the forged ones.They were only used a short time as they were prone to cracking.Mine was real nice,but it had a bunch of cracks around the spuds when I went to use it again.Mine has plenty of clearance though.I just like it because it is different.Same reason I am running a pair of galvanized engine pans.Everybody thinks I made them from old heating ducts,but they were just old JC Whitney repros.
