Does anyone have a source for the early reverse lamp lenses? Looking for the round ones that aren't nearly as common. I found ones listed for 50s and 60s CJs that look the same but haven't been able to confirm. 59 Ford ones are also suspiciously similar. If I can't find any info I may just order the CJ ones and cross my fingers...

I think you'll just have to cross your fingers and try it. Walck's seems to have a good selection.
Are you running your reverse lamps through a toggle switch, or do you have the switch on the column? Every other light on my truck works except the reverse lights. Haven't really gotten into it yet, but I have a suspicion its that column mounted switch.
Yeah, the beehives. I'll check the Tom Collins site, just thought it odd that nobody lists these under Wagoneers. I'm pretty sure at this point that the only difference from the CJ ones is the angled base piece.
Sorry this pic is huge by large.

I can look it up for you when I get home, if that will help. 99% sure all these lamps are the same, and the lack of Wagoneer coverage is just an oversight.

I think you're right tgreese. I just found the J-series parts book. Wagoneer shows the square style while pre '72 Townside truck has a round one. I'll compare part numbers later. Once I order something I'll make sure to post back here with what I find.

Brly, I don't know if the lights actually worked. I'm going from a column shifted manual to a floor shifted automatic so I'll be making some kind of bracket and linkage for a neutral safety/reverse lamp switch. I plan on using one of the column mount style switches since they're cheap and easily sourced.

Thanks Rory. Dug into things tonight and found that the wires were disconnected from the switch. The switch worked when I tested it with a meter and I managed to find the wire that ran all the way to rear lights under the dash. Just had to run a power wire to the switch, put new bulbs in and everything works.
I'll probably pick up some of the lenses you're getting. Mine are in once piece, but they're cracked and look pretty bad.
