1938 Dodge D8 headlight parts ISO

[Gufnstuf]

Hello all,

I have owned a 1938 Dodge D8 for about 15 years.  I am working on a restoration, and I am missing many of the parts to the headlight buckets.  At some point, someone has tried to adapt a later sealed beam kit to the buckets with mostly bondo.  Having removed all of that and gotten back to the actual buckets, I found that the door assemblies (trim rings) were not original to the buckets and were much too big.

 

Looking for any parts, no matter the condition.  I could make many of the parts if i had something to go off of for the design.

 

thanks in advance.

Can you give me the measurements of your bucket I do have a few buckets that are 37-38’s

Here are the measurements.

As I understand 38 Dodge is a one-year bucket, but the light components were also used on the 38 Chrysler royal. Uses an 8.25 round headlight lens.
