Headlight Buckets

I've been searching for replacement headlight buckets for my '72 F100. Tried the FTE forum sponsors without any luck. Most I've found in Ohio are in bad shape. Can anyone give me any leads on where I might locate a pair of headlight buckets?

I'll try to check, but I might still have a set. Just got done moving and stuff is still packed away and piled everywhere.

E-bay? I can get them anytime in local yards, so I picked up an extra pair because of the chatter here about the difficulty getting them. I am having them all powder coated so I never need to worry about it again. I wanted to know if the '73-'77 buckets are the same, though.

No the 73-77 buckets are not the same. I am not sure whether the 67-72 are the same either, as I have checked some online sources and in the local yards.

Let me know if y'all have any that you might want to sell.

Did you try Mac's? They are a sponser. If no sponsers have them, I think Dennis Carpenter does.

I know that the 1970 bucket is different then the rest. Been down that road before. They use the same bucket as the big Louisville trucks of that era. WHY?? Not sure.
