Ford Ranch Wagon Headlight Bulb Size

Ford Ranch Wagon high beam and low beam headlight bulbs utilize 3 distinct sizes: H5001, H5006, H6024, and H6006, with each bulb size corresponding to specific vehicle configurations. The replacement chart covers 1950 through 1974 production years and correlates each model year to its applicable headlight bulb specifications.

The year-by-year compatibility chart below provides a quick reference to verify the correct bulb size for your vehicle.

Additional Notes

The Ford Ranch Wagon uses four distinct sealed beam bulb types across its model years: H5001, H5006, H6024, and H6006. All four conform to ANSI standards recognized in both the United States and Canada and operate on 12V electrical systems.
All four bulb types are sealed beam units, meaning the lens, reflector, and filament are fused into a single assembly. When a filament fails, the entire unit requires replacement rather than an internal bulb swap.
The H5001 is a 4-inch square sealed beam unit designated for the high beam position. It appears across the Ranch Wagon from 1958-1974, making it the most consistently used high beam specification in the data.
The H5006 is a 5.75-inch round sealed beam unit designated for the low beam position. It shares the same 1958-1974 fitment span as the H5001, with both units working together as a paired two-headlight system during those years.
The Ford Ranch Wagon (1957-1958) used the H6024, a 7-inch round sealed beam unit, for both high and low beam positions. A single bulb type serving both functions indicates a two-lamp system where each unit contains dual filaments rather than separate dedicated housings.
The H6006 is a 5x7-inch rectangular sealed beam unit used for both high and low beam positions on the 1950-1955 Ranch Wagon. Like the H6024, its use in both positions reflects a dual-filament, two-lamp headlight arrangement.
The transition from H6006 to H6024 between 1955 and 1956, and then from H6024 to the H5001/H5006 pairing between 1957 and 1958, reflects shifts in the headlight housing format, moving from rectangular to round and then to a four-lamp split-beam configuration.
Because the H5001 and H5006 are physically distinct units with different shapes and sizes, the two are not interchangeable despite serving the same vehicle during 1958-1974. Installing the wrong unit in either position would result in an incorrect fit within the headlight housing.
