keiser31 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 It fits 1930 Oldsmobile. I think it may also fit Diamond T but thats all.I didn't think any headlamps in 1930 had convex lenses? Pretty certain it is not for a 1930 Oldsmobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trimacar Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 There's a number on the rim, if you look at one of the flat spots on the other edge, lower left side in the picture, if you post that number it would help identify, I'll look at the numbers I have and see what matches....

Brad in Wisconsin Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 the number is 359416 thanks All who responded to my query Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Burtch Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) The number doesn't look right. Six digits is okay, but nearly all Tiltray lens numbers in the 30's started with 91. In the late 30's some went to 92. I know the digits are hard to read, but is it possible that you are looking at them upside down or backwards? I expect the ending number 16 that you read is instead a 91 start for another number.Note - I see a listing for a 914653 convex lens which fits 33-34 GMC, 32 Oldsmobile and 33 Reo. It is listed at 9 15/32 OD and look like the style of your lens. Edited July 22, 2014 by Tom Burtch added info (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad in Wisconsin Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Sorry fellas it reads 359416 and the print type is similar to the font being used on this site so I can't be reading it upside down or inside out as the 3,5,4 and 1 would be strange. Could this be a commercial application and in a different part of your books and or maybe a factory part number? what is the number for 1934-35 IHC C series truck?

trimacar Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I can't reference that number either.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Nope not in my book either. No Tiltray prefixed with a 3. There are three , 2 prefixes and one 4 prefix. My book covers everything from Acme trucks to Yellow cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad in Wisconsin Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Looking in the lower left side like in the picture. if it was a clock at the hour hand would be about at 800........you'd have to take the lens off the headlamp and door to be able to read the numbers if you had that which I don't. Hmm what about foreign or something made later say in the fifties generic one size fits all (poorly) kinda thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
