More cab light questions ...
 
So I cleaned out a ton of my PMs and I accidentally deleted a message that had the part number for the lenses. I'm pretty sure they said I can still get them from the dealer.

Also does anyone know if the bases are still available OEM?

Id love to have a raised roof for these but once I gather em up I can mount them on the flat roof and can add the bumped section later.

I had a complete NOS set of lenses and bases and I sold em after I sold my last K20 ... Lesson learned, don't sell anything haha!

Read this thread....

Here is an older thread I posted about substituting the Harley turn signal lenses for the round "hockey puck" lenses.

As always Leon, some great info ... thanks!

I like the sort of tear drop shaped one in the picture that shows three styles. They all have round bases.

Lenses are available, but no bases. They can be found used in uncracked good condition

If you want the originals type "Yankee 77 lights" into ebay search box.

I think I have a set of the second style eBay link you posted. In a box somewhere from probably 20 years ago, never opened. Back then its what I liked, now I prefer the original style.

Done a little more on this. There is this complete set on Amazon, but the lights are LED. I don't know jack about LED. Can I just wire these straight in, don't need anything special?

I found the set of cab lights I purchased at least 20 years ago but never installed on a truck. I really liked them back then, and I still do, but not as much as original style.

Here is the link the Amazon lights ... https://www.amazon.com/Partsam-Chevr...2Q0CK6TCN2YJ9J

And here is a pic I stole off the web of the lights I have already...

Just FYI, the eBay review says the Yankee ones are plastic - the ones I bought from LMC are chrome metal.

I went ahead and ordered the Amazon set I posted. The price was right, Ill either figure out the LED bulbs or put in regular style bulbs.

I did read the reviews on one of the eBay ones and saw they were plastic. The ones I have of that style are metal. I do like that style a lot, so if I screw up my Amazon ones Ill have something to fall back on =)
