Re: cab roof lights?
I think the originals require indentions in the roof.

Re: cab roof lights?
Being that he is looking for correct, new old stock is all you'll find, they stopped making them a looooong time ago. Napa doesn't have them, no one does.
To be 'correct' you do need the raised stampings in the sheetmetal... but you can do without. It's not easy since there is little to no room there, but it can be done. |

Re: cab roof lights?
`70s had the later style.Maybe a mid-year change.I think the hockey puck type had problems like the bulb was too close to the lense.I know few survived intact.I put originals on a non-cablight truck and it worked out great.I used a toggle switch and had the tailgate markers from later Dooleys on the step bumper so I could flip a "Thanks" to the kind truckers who flasher their lights for me.It was a loaded work truck most of the time.

Re: cab roof lights?
