Spotlight mounting hardware??

I am looking for just the mounting plates, etc. for Unity spotlights to put a pair I have on the windshield posts or cowl of my 57 Ford Truck. I know Unity is still around, but their website doesn't show any info on getting older parts, so I'm assuming they just don't worry about the restoration folk. Any help on where such hardware might be found would be most helpful.

Thanks,

Bob in Spokane

I'm not sure how much curve you have on the posts of a '57, but Mac's Antique Auto Parts in NY has the bases for 48-52 trucks in their 32-48 car catalog. Actually listed for 35-40 cars.

The '48-72 truck catalog doesn't list them. If you want pn's let me know. When I got mine they were $17 and you use the bracket as your drill guide - pretty slick.

for '57 tilt model?

I recently bought a "complete spotlight bracket unit" on ebay. This is a Ford part B7C-18154-B. The original box says "1957 tilt models". It doesn't seem to fit the body contour of my '59 panel. Anyone have this part number in their parts book? It doesnt appear in the '59 Truck Parts and Accessories Catalog.

Since it says tilt, it's probably for a C-Series cab over. -4speed

Unity's web site says that installation kit #122 fits a '57-60 ford, but I didn't find that kit number at their online shopping page. They have other "antique" parts for sale. Maybe some of their distributors still have stock on that kit.
