1947-53 LED dome light retro fit

Not to take this thread too far off topic but....Youngrodder, have you had any issue with the Dynamat sticking to the roof of the cab? I'm also wondering what condition the metal was re: rust?

My '57 has crystalline rust on the can ceiling. I'm gonna sand it off and seal it with KBS. HOPEFULLY, that will adhere fine and roof temperatures won't give me a problem but I wanted to ask.

4DSEVEN-

Your welcome. I'm glad others can benefit. I also just received my rope LED lights. I made mention of this idea in an earlier post. I plan to attach them to the back side of my lower dash panel. This will provide some light for my feet. With these lights you can cut bulbs off of the string, so it will be easy to adjust how bright these are.

If I get some juice to them anytime soon, I will post some more pics.

Update!!

I purchsed a pair of these LED flexible strip lights. They are cheap ($7.99 including shipping) and come with double sided tape already applied. You can also trim lights off of one end if it is too bright to suit your taste.

I just finshed installing them on the underside of my lower dash panel pointing down to the foot wells. I must say they really help to lighten up the cab.

I have eveythting wired up to door jam switches. It all works great.

Possible to get pictures of how the footwells illuminate with his ? .

It sounds good & the price is right .

No truck question is off topic..ha ha

No issues with sticking to the roof. I had more trouble with it sticking to the inside of the doors...
