Help please

Just bought a 1970 C30 tow truck. Drove it home last night. Started out tonight and had no headlights. They were working last night. Any ideas?

The first thing to check is the foot dimmer switch.

Stomp the crap out of the dimmer switch a few dozen times.

Next most likely culprit is the light switch.
