Help - where do I get 1932-34 headlight bulbs
Ford Barners,
A headlight bulb on my stock 1934 Ford pickup burned out placing me in need of a stock 6V replacement bulb. I ordered one (part no. B-13007-D, Macs part no. 64-26254) from Macs over two months ago. It failed to arrive with the rest of my order and Macs listed the bulb as back-ordered. I continue to receive email updates with an expected ship date but the quoted date slipped 3 times already and still no bulb. I then ordered one last week from Dennis Carpenter (part no. B-13007-2320) and the incorrect bulb showed up. The 1932-34 Fords require a bulb that possesses a bayonet base with alignment pins – similar to parking, tail or other lights. The bulb I received has a flange with three locking slots identical to the 1935-39 Ford headlight bulbs. A closer look at both the Dennis Carpenter website and the catalog show the flanged bulb picture linked to the 1932-34 Fords application instead of a bayonet base bulb. I contacted Dennis Carpenter and his staff provided cheerful help and checked out their parts bin but both the 32-34 and the 35-39 bins contain bulbs with the flanged base – no bayonet base bulbs at all. I searched Ford Barn and found only one recent (2015) thread regarding 1932-34 headlight bulbs: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showth...headlight+1934 The thread basically states the same dilemma and confirmed an incorrect Carpenter bulb supply. This thread also mentions C&G Ford parts didn’t have the bulb as of Apr of 2015. I did not try them however but I will tomorrow. So, this all begs the following question: If Macs lacks inventory and Dennis Carpenter’s bin contains the wrong bulbs, what options do I have to obtain the correct 6V bulb? Anyone with a tip? Thanks, Dan |

A&L Parts Specialties in Canton, CT carry the right bulbs. They are carryover Model A parts.
