Several folks have vintage spotlights on their trucks. These were very common in the 50's and 60's on civilian vehicles and are used today on many commercial and police vehicles. I recently found an antique door post spotlight on e-bay tht was incomplete. I did a fair amount of research with the manufacturer, Unity, who is still in business, and found out what is "correct" for the power wagon, and also ordered the parts I needed to get it together again.

Look in particular at the antique spotlights section. Also check out the
historical archive, they have a 1953 parts diagram/list. They also offer an extensive array of replacement parts for many models, as well as repair.
Correct exposed light shaft length of the light assembly for the WDX-WM300
PW is 6". This is indicated by the shaft code "A" in the various
spotlights offered that I have listed below.
Several model numbers of lights are appropriate for the WDX-WM300. They
offer 5 or 6 inch diameter spotlights in 6 or 12 volt. For my B-3 power wagon
I am going with the 5 inch diameter, which I think was more typical in the 50's. The model numbers are below.
For 6 volt:
5 inch is 50A-4515-U-I 5"
6 inch is 125A-4535-U-I 6"
For 12 volt:
5 inch is 250A-U-I 5"
6 inch is 225A-U-I 6"
Correct installation kit is #69 for left door post and #69RH for the right.
Correct template pattern is T-959. You need to request this seperately(not in the installation kit). This is to position it correctly during installation.
Correct Mopar raised ornament (if desired) is 6295-C
