I have a pair of Chrome Headlight Buckets that look like 34 Masters but they say "Twi-lite" so they would be 33 Masters, right?

I'm still wondering about this. If my memory is correct the 33 Master Headlights say "Twi-lite" and the 34-35's say "Tilt-ray". Is this correct?

1933 & 1934 Master head lights are quite different. The 34 Master tapers down in front because of the smaller bezel & lens. The 1933 Master takes the same lens as your 34/35 Standard. I have one 33 Master bucket at home I can see what it says on the back....Joe

Wasn't chrome plated headlight buckets sold as an accessory? I was wondering if the chrome ones were provided as an accessory?

I went out and looked at my 1936 Commercial 1/2 ton truck and it has the TWI-LITE type buckets. They are larger than the ones I found on the '36 Standard, Town Sedan which are TILT-RAY. Both were sold as accessories, chrome plated buckets. I do not know about 1933 though.

(No one asked, but...)

My '36 FB Pickup has full chrome headlamp bezels and buckets which are stamped Twi-Light at the rear. It also came with a chrome tilt windshield frame and full chrome radiator surround (rather than part paint, part chrome. I've always assumed it was a deluxe package from the factory.
