Steve's CJ-3B with the unusual Bezel

At the Bantam Festival Gerald took a picture of a CJ-3A(?) with an unusual Bezel. Steve contacted me today with a similar Bezel on his CJ-3B. So far, no one has produced any history regarding these. Anyone know anything about them?

56 Ford bezels. Popular little modification back then.

thanks Bob. Do they require much modification to work?

If anyone knows where to get them, I want a set. Goose

Try Dennis Carpenter Ford...he has everything

I think they require no modification at all, any old 7 inch headlight bezels will work. They hook at the top, and one screw at the bottom. It's just that the Ford ones had that little eyebrow that made them unique.

Sent Dennis Carpenter an email for a part number. Lets see.

No response so far. Even though my google-fu is strong, I cannot find those exact ones. I suspect they might be for a motorcycle headlight.

I had the same google-fu experience. I found 1955 bezels that were close, but not quite the same.
