Cargo light
How hard is it to put on a cargo light if it wasn't originally an option. do you have to cut the cab? Found one today that was in pretty good shape and still had the on/off switch in the cab.

Re: Cargo light
I think that Rockcrln did this and documented it pretty well, try doing a cargo light search or search through his posts for it. And yes you will have to cut the cab. On a side note, most people aren't aware that 69-72 cargo lights were also used as backup light housings on 69 RS camaros. That's why they have that big thick gasket on em, they weren't designed to be used on a truck to begin with.

Re: Cargo light
Thanks for the info see ten. Learn something every day. Sounds like it would be a PITA to convert, but I'll look for the thread. Thanks again.

Re: Cargo light
Seeing that you have to cut the cab, why not go ahead a put in a combo 3rd brake & cargo light?
