Re: anyone have a pattern for roof marker lights
I did it the same way, however, if this is to be a nice truck, you may wanna graft on the correct panel with the raised mounting pads. I didn't have enough room un there for the plugs, and ended up dimpling the inner panel to make room.

Re: anyone have a pattern for roof marker lights
it will be a nice truck but also my beater tractor puller at the same time. I didnt think all of the roof marker light trucks had the raised pads? i have the 72 style.

Re: anyone have a pattern for roof marker lights
if I remember right, the factory assembly manual has the dimensional info on placement. but as Andy said, you will have to take into consideration the fact that the factory mounts are not there. so a roof section with the proper bosses would be needed for a "show" quality install.

Re: anyone have a pattern for roof marker lights
Andy, after we PMd back and forth on this issue last week, I wound up ordering a set of chrome and amber aftermarket style lights for my truck. I didn't want to hassle with the inner headliner issues that you warned me about.
I appreciate your advice on this.

Re: anyone have a pattern for roof marker lights
last week I ordered 5 "fireman's Hat" from the link below. They are the complete assembly (with gasket) and the are marked signal stat on the lense. $8.21 per light. Cheapest I found. Napa wanted over $22.
Very good to deal with. http://www.ryderfleetproducts.com/cg...uct_detail.jsp |

Re: anyone have a pattern for roof marker lights
I have the one's that LMC sells and they are pretty decent looking replicas of my Yankee 77 firehat style. I haven't opened the yet but they should work nicely. I watched an NOS set go for bug bucks and couldn't spend themoney on them.. Every once in awhile a single NOS one shows up on Ebay, that's the way to get them..

Re: anyone have a pattern for roof marker lights
When I put factory marker lights on my`71 I didn`t have any problems with clearance for wiring them up.
