✅ SOLVED Help identifying old truck fender/headlight parts

[cellerfeller]

I got these from a picker recently. He said they came off an old truck (40's-50's) he found in the woods. The truck had large rounded headlight buckets mounted on top of the fenders and these trim pieces were on the top of the buckets. Each is about 15 1/2" llong and appear to have some original blue paint. He thought the truck was a big old stake body farm truck. It had been parked for years and trees were growing up through the frame. He was thinking early Ford but some Treasurenet help would sure be appreciated.

Gonna guess KB International. Probably mid 40's. Not much to go on. Need pictures of the truck.

I'd say it's a 1946 Chevy 1 Ton or there abouts….

Yep - that is exactly the way he described it - bumper and grill are the same - I have marked it solved. Thanks for the input - much appreciated. Cellerfeller

Nice ID's guys! I remember those old trucks. The parts you have are the running light/turn signal housings (if they even had turn signals then) That, I don't remember for sure. Thanks for sharing Cellerfe;;er.

That design was stolen from the Schwinn Bicycle Co. First pic, a pre-war fender with fenderlight, circa 1938. Used on deluxe Schwinn bikes '38-'59. Gary
