VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1937-1945 1940 Chevrolet Backup lamp

Can someone post a picture of a backup lamp for a 1940 Chevrolet Sedan? Is it identical to the 1948 Chevrolet?

thank you

The 1939-41 lamps are the same.The mounting brackets are different for all those years.The 1939 and 1940 mounted on the side of the trunk, the 1941 on the rear body to bumper splash pan.1942 and 1946 has a rectangular lamp that used what looked like a 1941 parking lamp lens.The 1947-48 had a larger round lamp.

Since this is the only way I can get a message through because of the active x problem how many people are having this problem? I can reply but I can't get into the topics.

No problem here. I'm able to reply and also view the topics.

There must be a fair amount of people with the problem that Bill had to put something up about it at the top of the chatter page :( :( :( :(

Here are a couple pictures of a very high point 1940 Business Coupe. (The Toolman's) The sedan used the same light I believe.

so, is this the wrong one?

does any one have the correct template to locate the light on the body.i could use one ,did they have dual backup lights like the 39

Thats a 1947-48 lamp-I sent you a picture of the 1939-40---also the 1940 lamp mounted higher, more up on the side of the trunk...

The 1940 Chevrolet sedan and coupe/convertible all used the same back-up light. The only difference was the mounting location on the body.
I have original 1940 back-up light mounting information. Email me.
