WTB One Power Beam headlamp bulb - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**1970cstblazer** · 03-01-2009, 01:11 PM

One of my original Power Beams finally gave up the ghost.

Looking for one for my '72 Cheyenne Super.

I dont have a NOS bulb, but I know I have a used power beam I found at a local PNP. If your interested, I can look through my stuff.

speed · 03-01-2009, 03:13 PM

I'm not sure what truck this one came out of but you can have it for shipping cost.

A good working used one will be fine as long as the bulb isn't fogged up, and the reflective coating is intact. Thanks.

Jeff, I appreciate the offer, but I am looking for an original GM bulb with the round Power Beam logo in the center of the bulb. Thanks.

**1970cstblazer** · 03-02-2009, 05:00 PM

Still looking..

71 super · 03-02-2009, 08:50 PM

If you will look on ebay there are usually several on there - t3 headlamps- most are for dual head light setups. I bought a set here and a set from a guy on bay and both worked as expected. The set i got off ebay was NOS and I got them for $30 and shipping (pair) so they are out there. Good luck.

**1970cstblazer** · 03-02-2009, 08:58 PM

I will look there, but I was hoping to buy from a fellow board member. Thanks.

Critter · 03-02-2009, 09:11 PM

Me and my buddy are "halves" on a 69 parts truck. He mentioned he thought at least one of them was the original bulb but I'm not sure. Do you have a picture of the logo or whatever we should look for?

**1970cstblazer** · 03-02-2009, 09:34 PM

Here is the Power Beam logo..

Critter · 03-02-2009, 09:54 PM

I'm going by there in the morning, I will take a look and let you know.

**1970cstblazer** · 03-02-2009, 10:00 PM

I appreciate it.

'69's used T-3 bulbs like this:

I need one for my '70 K/5 too..

Livrat · 03-02-2009, 10:20 PM

I have three of the 68-71 T3 large version... $30 for all three plus shipping...

**1970cstblazer** · 03-03-2009, 09:32 PM

Livrat:

Will you sell just one?

Livrat · 03-03-2009, 11:08 PM

Sure.. $10 plus the ride... PM me your address and I will find out the shipping costs..
I also may have your Power beam headlight.. I can dig through the headlite bin at the shop tomorrow and let you know..

**thelonerife** · 03-04-2009, 12:38 AM

I just had a t3 in my wheel borrow saturday at pull a part. My 1 1/2 leg wheel borrow fell over and the t3 started hissing so I put it back. I'll look for the power beams next time

**1970cstblazer** · 03-20-2009, 02:04 PM

Found a bunch of these at a yard.

**leddzepp** · 03-20-2009, 02:50 PM

My 72 Cheyenne Super has the "t-3" bulbs in it...must be because it was made in late 71?

**1970cstblazer** · 03-20-2009, 08:33 PM

It must be a very early production '72. All of the '72's I have come across had the Power Beams.

**leddzepp** · 03-21-2009, 02:57 AM

It was built/delivered in Nov. 71
