Will the headlight buckets from any other GM marque fit a '39 Chevy?
Thanks in advance!

I think there are kits to install sealed beams in some of these older vehicles. They usually mount with some rubber or foam rubber without the traditional adjusting pots.

The sealed beam conversions that I am familiar with actually fit into the stock head light bucket. Some of them add the adjusting screws as part of the mount conversion. You do not move the bucket to aim the light like you had to with the stock projector bulb and reflector.

I went through looking at all the possibilities with my first 38 project Chev. Some years had housings large enough to take kits with adjusters and some didn't.
