I’ll take it if it’s still available.

Crazy question; what size dual pole bayonet bulb did this take? I have one and can’t cross-reference a bulb.

From memory, it was plugged into one of front the front marker lights. The cover was removed, the bulb was transferred from the light housing to the
the socket you pulled the light switch out and had a trouble light.
You had two marker lights you could do this with (rears are not individual bulbs)

Ironically, I think this same piece was used in the WWI Standard B Liberty Truck (only the "Type I" with electrics) through an auxiliary dash port.
I intend on building one for my Type I from the few handles and clamshells I have from an old scrap M577 TOC lighting sets, same heads even into the 90's at least.
Why reinvent the wheel eh?

Would seem easier to plug into the dash socket next to the brake but that is dual pole. I’ll check out the bulb cross-over. Thanks.

if I remember to, I'll check what bulb is in it tomorrow. it doesn't work with the half track dash socket as that is single center pin and this style trouble light is double pin. the actual half track trouble lights look more like a modern drop light.
