Ford CMP trouble lamp / Inspection lamp
Hi,
Does any one know what type of Cab Inspection lamp was used for Ford CMP's. I believe the Chevys had their own type .... Any pictures would be greatly appreciated.... I have a wartime British Inspection lamp with a 2 pin connector but this doesn't fit the socket in my f60 LAAT Cab 13 Kind regards Mark 1944 F60 LAAT 1942 Canadian 40mm Bofors gun |

There's a picture in the back of the late version of the driver's handbook.
Unfortunately, I get an upload error when trying to add a picture to the message. |

Hi Mark, The two pin type would suit a carrier (I would put my hand up for it)
The Ford CMP one is round, like a bulb base? (single center contact?) Correct?

I have seen two types of CMP truck trouble lamps over the years. Both look similar to a standard shop trouble light, with a single pin candelabra plug at the end of the cord.
I see had the wooden handles ones, but I have also had the ones which were simply a commercial 110V rubber handles trouble lamp (as shown in the photo Jaques has shown) with an adapter in the standard 110V light screw socket to convert it to the 6 volt automotive bulb. |

Thanks all for your very helpful posts !
It's always great to see an actual pic or diagram. First time I have seen the tool box listing ... Any one know where to find a Canadian tool box ? Lynn.. I will need to keep the British lamp for our Bedford MW.... but if I see another here in England I'll give you a shout ! Cheers Mark |

Here is a scan from an F15 Drivers Handbook. It shows a drawing of what the inspection light looks like. Wouldn't mind finding one myself! I repaired the dash socket a long time ago but have nothing to plug into it. Cheers,
