Thanks Keiser, The rimless sounds similar, but I can't see in the drawing what the screw goes against. and I'm not sure if '36 is the same.

very good, thanks for that Vic. yes it is supposed to work as you describe, but i think this is a different design in your picture . it does not have the coil springs, but instead has bigger leave spring type springs . I actually have another headlight, probably from a '36 or '37 (maybe from a car) that uses the coils, there is a little bracket that comes through, as well as a screw, (the black one) the '38 (green one) just has a screw hole. it was converted to sealed beam at some point unfortunately, so most original hardware is missing. what I can't figure out is what the screw went against, or into, to keep the lens from being pushed in.

Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone has pictures of how the factory headlight lens locking mechanism on these trucks. I can fabricate the missing parts, but don't know what is missing. I am including pictures of what remains. it is different from all other headlights I've seen. they are the type that just has a screw on the bottom that is loosened before removing the lens. I believe they are Riteway. any insight would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Bill.
