Dan.....I would not say John Smith is wrong.He and I have discussed this for years.He just hasn't convinced me 100% that he is correct.We both agree that later lights had the dimples.[ie: FDF 15514,]but I have also seen the dimple lens on the 8n15514.I have asked Randy to see what he can dig up on all the lights.It really doesn't matter who is right or wrong,I would just like to find out for sure to set the history straight.
Now.....let's open up a discussion on 48-49 headlights.The more I dig,the more I'm inclined to believe the Ford headlights were used on the 48 and 49 8ns.I think they went to the Tract-O-Lites when they came out with the "implement light"[dimpled or 8 rings]in 1949.I base this on my prints and some folks tractors,but this is still just speculation,no real proof.We need lots of feed back before we decide "that's the way it was back when".Help please. don b
