this makes the backup light operate manually which can serve as a work light behind the truck and gives plenty of light for backing up.

tractor headlights are available from most parts stores and still look period correct for our trucks. black metal case with 4 or 5 inch round seal beam lamp.

just a thought… but it is kind of a hillbilly solution.

Hillbilly, but great idea Clem.

Thank you.
