Chev lend lease blackout lamp bracket

Hi Guys. I hope someone has (or is willing to sell) a blackout driving light bracket for my 1942 Lend Lease Chevrolet 30CWT truck. Anyone? TIA. Don.

Hi Don

Are you after a jeep style blackout driving light bracket ?

Blackout driving lights were not normally seen on LL Chevs. Are you referring to the small blackout marker lights that sit on top of the headlights ?

This Victorian Railways LL Chev has both types of blackout lights, fitted.

G'day Mike. I have found one already, thanks to an old time surplus dealer. Cheers, Don.

This wartime Aust. advert depicts a Lend Lease Chevrolet, it has the blackout driving light fitted. I guess over the years the blackout driving light was discarded or lost. I've not seen a LL Chev with this light still fitted and most owners would not be aware that their truck originally had a Blackout Driving Light fitted when it was new truck.
