WTB WTB - need a headlight bucket for '69 B-body

[gkent]

I need the left HiLo headlight bucket for a '69 B-body Plymouth. These are stamped and the one I need is stamped HiLo-5-LT889. They may be the same on '68 and '70 and maybe Dodges as well - not sure. Must be in decent shape - no rot or major pitting. Only need the one bucket - no ring, etc.

I have a bunch, I’ll take a look

Looking at the ones I have ,mine HI LO 05LT ,has a 123 instead on 889, so I think I'm out. I'm assuming & I hate to do that, that 889 is a date code ???

 

[gkent]

I don't think its a date code - the other three are numbered 886, 887 and 888 and I have two sets. So 889 is most likely a part number.

Ok, so some more digging & I took a pot off one of my 69 runner fenders ,found a 889 but rusty on the back, then went through a bunch more boxes & found a HI LO 5LT with no following number??? . Only difference I noticed was the opening in the back was much smaller on the 889. I tried a hi lo beam in each & it fit the same ?

Maybe try to post this ad in the "wanted section " & you'll likely get a good response. I think Joey can change it, just ask ?

I think I have a set of spare buckets. I'll look when I get home tonight.

How rusty ... "pitted" rusty or just surface rust?

I have a set of 4. Here is the 889.

Let's see how it goes with 6pktgo - shipping from him would be a lot less and I only need the one bucket

 

[6pktgo]

Better grab that one mine are rusty & unless its bead blasted or dipped, I cant say they wouldn't be pit free.

We just sold our resort after 27 years & I have close to 300 boxes of parts to go through, I knew I had a bunch of these & went on a mission to find more of them . I found 2 very nice 889 "s but I'm having a hard time uploading pics ,I'll be back

 

[6pktgo]

Try again

The hole looks bigger in one than the other. ??
