    Dave, OD is right @ 10" or bigger
    been buyin them for around $150
    Things I look for are, good lens, reflector,trim ring and bottom mount is convex.
    Dents in buckets are no big deal, as I straighten em out and paint the bucket to match car.
    Thanx,Don

    Don,

    What wrong with the ones in the first post? They look big too. Those are what I'll end up placing on mine.

    Hmm. 31 Pontiac. Time to start searching again.

    I've got a pair of '32 or '33 Buick headlights I'd part with, but I've got a bunch of money in them. If you're at all interested pm me.

    Thanx 4 lookin Dave.
    Went thru the same thing last Sunday.
    Drove down to Phoenix for a so-called swap meet.
    Everything looked like it had just come out of 1 of the local junkyards (and I mean JUNK)
    Sum guys think a set of early chevy S/B heads are worth $250
    I guess because they have original 1968 dirt and grease on them.
    Again, thanx Dave
    Don
