Original Lighters
Went to install the lighter in a 71 C10 Deluxe I'm restoring, when I noticed the one I pulled off this truck reads Casco 78. I don't if that's for year or something else.
Pulled this black "deluxe" one off my 72 Super, which reads Casco 63. The Super's interior has no business with a lighter this nice ![]() Curious about which is original say for the 71 I'm building. I think there were others too, one solid black. Seeking an education on original lighters I guess. Thanks

Re: Original Lighters
The one on the right looks correct for 68-72

Re: Original Lighters
Thank you. That's why I bought the 72, for the cig lighter
![]() Really I got to say, as rough as the 72 is, it's ironic how often it comes through for my rebuild. I should have known it was special when the issued license plate read "400", which wasn't on purpose ![]() ![]() That Casco 63 is about 2.5 x heavier than the 78. Matches the dials.

Re: Original Lighters
Some bling. Tomorrow is ignition day and get to wrapping up the wiring. Just need bed harnesses yet, no big, they were ordered in Jan.
