Question Headlight Adjustment

What is the setup for adjusting the headlights on an F30/F60s,all my books only tell me about black out measures taken having only one headlight etc.
Thanks in advance

Drive your truck up to the wall. Mark the centre of the beams. back up 10 feet. (straight)
The centre of the beam should be pointing no higher or to the right of that point on the wall. on dip, they should drop 4 inches below, and to the left.
Is that what you wanted?

Default Bulb Type Hi and Low Beam

Hi

Lynn directions are right on, best if you have the truck on a flat floor.

The pictures below you might find interesting they are adjusting the lights on my 1941 Pattern 12 C60L, high and low beam what you may also the pictures show standard original style bulb and reflector right side of truck, while the left headlight is Halogen with standard reflector.

First photo is Hi Beam, 2nd is Low Beam, 3rd is head light type.

Cheers Phil

Hi Darryl,yes it will be ready for the parade and 150th army display.
It is running real sweet,and the wiring is just about complete with only blinkers to go


Hi Lynn,the chassis is an F30 that is being built to desert trim.
