Cab clearence lights.....options ?
 
Crew comming out of body shop....gonna start putting back together. po removed cab roof lights and did a crapy patch job, so i un-patched his crap prior to paint. i may go with stock replacement but also wouldnt mind something else. i ordered some clear led sleeker ones from lmc but the mounting screws are forward and back not side to side and rather far apart. i have little faith they will seal...........does anyone have any sugestions? and pics would be nice....thanx very much!

He didn't have factory lamps,but a friend installed late model Ford ones on his '85 High Sierra K/10 that is now a K/30. He apologized for using Ford stuff...he's as GM as me,but said they look an awful lot like the original GMs and are L.E.D. They do look real close unless you're looking real hard to see a difference. Sorry no pics,but look at Fords and you'll see the ones I mean. It's not like he didn't have originals laying around,either.
Anther thought,using the factory holes,base pads,etc,it to use GM reverse lenses for Stepsides,StepVans,and cab & chassis. The first GM-specific clearance lamps in '69 were amber and known as "Hockey Puck" style lenses. In '70 they changed to the lens used through '91 on Crew Cabs,but still use the same bases,etc. The reverse lens are the exact same lens except clear. They lay lower and are flat on top. Kind of a trick way to go with GM stuff that bolts right on.
