Need help finding correct headlight adjusters

[Enforced_Leo44]

As title states, I bought a couple of headlight adjusters off of Rockauto, photos included, hoping they would fight right into my M1008, but not so surprisingly they don’t fit. I’ll include picture of the headlight bucket as well as the new adjuster so you can help me figure out with they messed with the bucket itself or if it’s normal and civvy adjuster are, for some reason, not compatible with military assemblies.
If that’s the case, I’d really love having the correct part number and/or links to find the correct adjusters.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Leo

So theory holds, that part of the truck is just an 84 civvy K30...not military specific

Civilian screws are what you need. My problem has always been the plastic clip in thread inserts. They don’t let the screws hold the light in place. Putting a nut and flat washer on the engine side of the adjuster bolt works wonders. Yes, you will have to use two hands to adjust your lights. But, they won’t move again until you want them to.

Then I guess that Rockauto has the screws for a 4 headlight truck. I checked on LMC Trucks and sure enough that’s the issue…

You could look up the part number in the tm and see if there are any near you. I know LMC sells them...maybe try their part number.

It took me 2 min. to find these. There are many more. German Ebay has tons of stuff. You need to just look. There are lots of people here in Europe who have CUCV parts.

I was gonna suggest LMC, but others have.

I had an '85 1 ton, single rectangle headlights, Dorman and the likes, no fit. LMC was the only ones I found that worked.

I kinda miss that truck. 454 that put 440 to the rear wheels. Would pull 10k up Cajon pass at 50 mph.
