Or does anybody here have one correct for sale?

The first pair are 1927 and they are wrong for 28. The single one may be 28 as stated. to be sure you should get the diameter measurement. I probably have one at home but I am presently in Florida. I will be back home for Christmas.

Email me with what you are looking for. I have several headlights for '28 Chevys. Will need to look through them to find the ones closest to what you are looking for. Also have some '27 headlights.

As noted by chevycop, '27 and '28 headlamp buctets appear to be identical, but they are not. '27 are slightly smaller at the rim attachment area and when attempting to install a '28 rim on a '27 bucket they will either remain loose or separate from the bucket. The diameter of the headlamp buckets, at the rim attachment location, is 8.25 inches on the '27 bucket and 8.562 inches on the '28 bucket. The physical size of the two buckets appear to be identical but the rim attachment portions are slightly different in size and shape.
