Original Cab Roof Light Value - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Already Gone** · 07-31-2014, 12:11 PM

I haven't taken any pictures yet but I bought a set of original cab marker lights from a 69/70 1 ton I found at the wrecking yard yesterday. I got the chrome bases ( its the long ones ,not the round ones) the rubber gaskets and all the screws. One (amber) lens was missing but the other 4 are there. I'd class these as 8/9 out of 10. I see the occasional set on the boards for sale but can't remember what people ask for them. Anyone got an idea what they are worth?

Do you have any pics of them? A 69/70 C/30 would have just the amber hockey puck amber lens and rubber pad that sits on the special raised roof. The Yankee #77 had a chrome base and would have been used on 67/68 C/30 trucks and was available from the dealer to ad to any truck.

Finally got around to taking the pictures. I think the chromes are pretty good for being 43/45 years old and the rubber bases are perfect. The lens are okay but are little faded and have some lite cracks in some of them.

I wonder if the chrome parts are metal like these originals or plastic.

That's a good question. Wonder if LMC could say for sure what they are made of?

I read the description on the link you sent me but it didn't say what they were made of.

I would say email or a call to LMC may resolve this.

buying the C30 to mount them on will be the expensive part.
I paid $100 for a NOS set. (a deal, I think) yours are worth that, IMO
