Here's what they look like on the 51s.

That should be a "Unity" spotlight. There are two (overall diameter) sizes - a 5" and a 6"

I have lights each size, but the ones in the picture are the larger 6"

Did the mounting bracket come with it? It should have the number "66" cast in underneath if it's the right one.

Nice job!
I'm thinking about a pair for my 48 F 1.

Hello Al and welcome!

'Julie' will not be answering anytime soon as 'she' was booted off for, shall we say, poor behavior. Spotlights are fairly easy to find at most swap meets. The challenge is getting a working unit and finding the bulbs. They do add a nice touch.

Have we seen pics of your truck?

Allan, welcome to FTE.

But please, do yourself a favor, start a NEW thread and introduce yourself. You are of course welcome to join in on current threads, but your first post was one that was 2 years old and this one had been dead for almost 5 years.

And apparently, they're made of gold or plutonium.

On my 52 the spotlight had a side view mirror built into the back side. Looked fairly utilitarian convient. It was also uglier than a mud fence. It was taken out when the chop was done.
