Hall lamp tailights CJ3B

[Chris P]

Hi everyone,
I finally was lucky enough to found these pair of Hall Lamp taillights in pretty good condition. Lenses seem to be aftermarket replacements: Stratolite SAE.S.AI.T O36A. Will need to find the correct Stimsonite lenses.

Reading through Jeep Taillights on CJ3B https://www.cj3b.info/Dating/Taillights.html I understand Hall taillights became available to the 3B since 1957. Since my 3B is 1956 I should get ALA ones instead. Nevertheless later in the page it is stated that Hall Lamps were available in CJ5 since 1955. In my 1956 Part List Hall taillights are listed as a valid option but there is no reference since which serial number.

Any thoughts guys? Below are some pics of the ones I´ve got.





Regards,

After some parts list sequencing and extrapolation I come up my best guess without further evidence.
AL was likely used prior to serial plate number 57348-33148.

Chris,
You could also approach it from the perspective of "period replacement" meaning that if those lights were available they could've been swapped in to replace broken lights.

Those really look nice.

[oldtime]

So Chris what’s your serial plate number ?

[Chris P]

Thanks guys.
I am very interested in your opinion Oldtime. Message shows blank.

Rus, I agree with your comment. It is definitely period correct and much better than all the new replacements available.

[Rus Curtis]

Yeah, blank for me too.

[oldtime]

Hmm. Not blank on my end.
Can anybody else read this besides me ?
I repeat........

Ken,
That's visible.  This is weird.

[Bob W]

I can see all the messages.

[Chris P]

Very weird. Enclosed is a screenshot.

[oldtime]

I can’t see what I’d on his screen shot.
Maybe someone can copy and post my reply to Chris. TIA

Hi oldtime, I'm afraid your messages show blank to me 

[Bob W]

Here is what Oldtime posted up a few...

"After some parts list sequencing and extrapolation I come up my best guess without further evidence.

57384 24289. As Rus suggested, Hall taillights would be period correct but not factory correct. I can survive with that until some ALA taillights show up! 
Thanks guys

And finally the so expected ALA taillights showed up, just when I was ready to install aftermarket repros. And they are actually two pairs so will have the chance to use the best ones.







There are also some spare glasses and rings, including black one that I guess they are early version or Naco.

Cheers
