[quote name='seagrave_rearadmiral' post='201250' date='Mar 30 2008, 16:20 ']1966? According to my Ford truck book, quad headlights appeared on Ford C-series trucks only from 1958 until 1961 at the latest.[/quote]



That's right. But I have seen several later built Ford C with Young bodywork, all with double headlights. Maybe a Young specialty ?
