Well, my roof has two holes in it. Right down the center of the cab like it was for a roof light... So, does anyone know if there was a roof light on the 3/4 ton trucks as standard or accessory part in 1960. The holes are perfect, not sure if they are so perfect they were add ons?? Keep hearing the Dixie Chicks singing hole in my head.. thanks

I will try and add an image soon

You have a dome light cutout above the rear window, but I dont think that is what you are referring to. Nothing else on the roof interior. Can you send a picture?

Radio antenna holes. Commercial trucks had multiple antennas at times.

Maybe one of the holes was for a CB antenna.

I would say antenna/cb holes. Do you know if this was a service or line truck, or maybe a homemade tow truck? Could have been wiring for the gumball light.
