I have one sealed beam conversion on a '39 deluxe-'40 fender that was the bucket,sealed beam and a funky pot metal trim ring. never saw one before; does it have any value or should i junk it with the rusty fender? anyone interested?

They were a common upgrade when seal beam headlights came out. I don't like the looks of them, but that's me. I have several of them I have taken off cars. I wouldn't think they have much value if any. No idea who would want them, but never know. Might check ebay and see if any of them are selling.

I need help! I'm trying to put aftermarket headlight bezels (look similar to '40 Ford, except running light is on lower portion of assembly) on my '37. I have some '40 Ford buckets, but it doesn't look like these will work. I imagine that the part is meant to go onto the '37/'39 headlight bucket with a new bulb retaining system. Do you have any experience with this conversion?
