Can anyone identify these cab lights? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, so I have a friend who is working on a 72 Chev and when I went to look at it I noticed that where the lights go on the top (roof) of the cab, there was a raised area for each light. Like the cab roof was molded for the lights. I have never seen this before...is this a special truck? Can anyone tell me what it is off of? I will try to get a pic.

Not a special cab, they came standard on 3/4 and 1 ton cabs, can't remember the exact year.
They could be ordered for 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton as well. I am sure the Longhornman will refresh my memory on the exact years that DOT made them mandatory.

Nope nothing special, just some had the raised part and some did not.

they were not standard on anything light duty (c/30 and less) But they were required options on any cab/chassis truck, and any daul rear wheel truck from 68 to date.
As far as trucks with beds, they were an option avalible on any 10 - 30 series truck.

I have the same lights on my 1/2 ton. It came as an option on mine, probably a fleet truck. You can get replacements from LMC, lens covers, pads, sockets, etc.

you can get them a LOT cheaper at NAPA too.
They used the exact same p/n lens, base, bulb, harness... clear up into the 90's.
