Cargo Light mounting question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

incoma · 10-04-2004, 06:56 PM

For all of you guys that had to re-mount the cargo light - How did you do it? I havne't had any luck finding a mounting nut like the original. I've found some well nuts and they aren't tightening up enough to hold the cargo light against the cab. I was going to try to use some normal nuts, but the light connector that fits inside the sheet metal won't let me get a wrench on it to tighten.. Please help me out with some thoughts...I'm getting frusterated.

I bought some from LMC, they are a nut encapsuled in rubber. It wouldn't stay tight and I ended up with a nut inside on top of the other one and it stays tight now. Good luck John

It sounds like they're selling the same well nuts that I'm trying to use... There's got to be a way to get these things to work..

I had a friend tighten them while I held them on the inside. There wasn't much room to get the nut in.John

I guess I'll try this next unless someone else has any other ideas. BTW, John, that is a beautiful truck. Great job on that interior, it looks great!
