Dome Light Function 67-72 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I havent thought much about it since I bought my truck in march but my dome light has been wired to a toggle switch under my dash by a previuos owner. My question is "Did this truck originly have a plunger switch in the door like later modles?" I dont see any holes where they could ha been in the past. I was thinking maybe they were covered up by some one. Perhaps when some body work was done, it does have new rockers and the inside of the door area was painted.Or did the dome only function by turning the headlight switch full counter-clockwise?
