Guys,
These are not mine but they appear to be in good shape and have the cast mounting brackets. Price seems to be good.

I couldn't get it to copy and paste but type in the numbers on the Ebay site and it should come up.

Have a good day.........Bill

I believe they are identical, or very similar, to the front work lights fitted to this military D7M, pictured at work in Europe during WW2.

Those lights with the double rivets on the side are the type used by International Harvester. The staggered single rivet versions are Cat. Both are "Guide Light" manufacture. I'm not sure if they are considered interchangeable with Cat or not.
