Re: Any pics of trucks with spotlights?????
Very nice mattbert56. I have a better lower part for that spotlight if interested. (part under the spotlight head). Takes some time to disassemble and reinstall, but it doesn't have near the pitting on it. Just cover shipping and I can get it in the mail for you. Heres a pic. SPOTLIGHT STILL LOOKING FOR A GOOD HOME/ FREE / JUST PAY SHIPPING BE AROUND $20.00 TO SHIP

Re: Any pics of trucks with spotlights?????
I posted the recent pics of my CH-H1 spotlight in the install thread and didn't want to jumble up that thread as it has all the install instructions. So I deleted and moved the pics to here.
This is the Unity CH-H1, I replaced my Unity S-6 with this one. And still looking for a Unity CH model.

Re: Any pics of trucks with spotlights?????
Seems like a unique spot on this one. Just picked up one up a couple weeks ago. Was used as a gas station service truck in a previous life.

Re: Any pics of trucks with spotlights?????
Great looking 64. Looks to be 4wd also. I wonder if the light had a handle under the roof or was static and just moved manually from outside.

Re: Any pics of trucks with spotlights?????
The roof mount Unity light is quite common. Yes it has an operating handle on the inside. Whacked my head a few times on the light I had in my old fire truck. You'll also find these mounted on the side of transport trucks.

Re: Any pics of trucks with spotlights?????
Thanks for the info Aerotruk63. I can see how the handle hanging down in the middle of the roof might lead to that.

Re: Any pics of trucks with spotlights?????
I agree, these were very common once upon a time during the 40's and 50's especially. They became far less popular in the 1960's and later. Most of them came with a unique head shell that mounted sideways, so the top knot was pointing up when the bulb was facing horizontally. And most came with a very short shaft to minimize the head clobbering problem!
