Hello all
I know Chevrolet sourced accessories like fog lights from different suppliers at different times, but...
Does anyone know what brand, shape and size fog light would have been sold as a genuine Chevrolet accessory for light trucks late in 1946?
Unity or Guide? Round or rectangle? 4 5/8 maybe?
Also, what kind of brackets were used to attach them?

Thanks very much for your expertise.
Ole

A truck would use the same as a car. WOULD be the small round 4 5/8" Guides.

Thanks!
Would the attachment be the multipiece bracket that clamps over the top and bottom of the bumper support?
Thanks again

Would anyone be able to tell me which of the 3 mounting methods shown in the 2 attachments below was used with fog lights on a 1946 Chev truck?
Thanks very much.

The fog lights were the same for 1946-47 and 48......but the brackets were not. The 1946 used a cast bracket so the top and bottom clamp was used. 1947 used the hollow tube bracket so the set screw type clamp was used.
