Anyone know the modern cross-reference for the DUKW headlight at NAPA or other auto parts stores in the States?
Also, looking for a DUKW speedometer cable -- CCKW one is apparently too short to reach.
Also, looking for 3 DUKW bows very badly. Any leads stateside?

Hi John,
Try Frank von Rosensteil for the top bows I know he has speedo cables for the CCKW he may have the DUKW ones as well.If he can't help you with the cable let me know.
As far as the headlamp goes I have purchased them from NAPA but I neglected to write the number down. You can simply ask for a single lamp two filament sealed beam in either 6 or 12 volt which ever applies that 's all I needed to buy mine.
Hope this helps
John

NAPA # for DUKW Headlight
Well, NAPA came through, but our local guys don't make it easy -- if the part isn't for a GM or Ford pickup, they are not willing to dig. I finally asked to look through the lamp catalog and found the correct sealed beam in the back section. Here it is:
6 volt sealed beam Headlamp: NAPA # LMP6006 $14.95
As Joel says, this should fit jimmies and other vehicles. They DO have a 12 volt PAR 56 also available, but I didn't get the #.
Also noticed in the back section NAPA carries 24volt "military" headlamps, so all of you M-37, M-35, M-151 types out there are covered too.
I am getting nervous about the steel DUKW bows. We can have a speedo cable made up if I need to, but those bows are pretty unique.
Thanks to all for the help!

Thanks for the info John
It engaged my interest in the 12V headlight.
I found the following from the GE lighting catalog through Google....
6014 7" 12V Sealed Beam "Auto"
6015 7" 12V Sealed Beam "Truck Heavy Duty"
The parts store sold me the 6014's for my vehicle. I should have asked for the others. The bulbs are 50% more in price but MTBF is 100% longer. Auto is 150 - 300 hours. Truck is 300-500 hours.
I have posted this info to the main sites parts page.
