Awesome find Robert ....now hoping more will turn up. Or find a complete lamp or mirror at the thrift shop that has several of them fitted

it seems that the very early cab 11 made in 1940 may not have had them and appeared in the 1941 series and the subsequent cab 12 model into 1942.

That's interesting...My C8 does have the holes for the bumper jewels and also had the holes on the fenders for marker lights. My truck was built in the second half of 1940, so based on the info above this could mean the jewels were retrofitted.....which makes sence as the small holes in the top and bottom of the bumper are not in line and somewhat crudely drilled.

I also had a quick look on the Servicepub Factory Photo CD and it seems all Cab 12's have the holes in the bumper and the Cab 11's do not. Which does indeed confirm Bob and Rob's info.
