For helping keep this great
old truck web site
on the Internet for over 30 years! and not clogged down with Ads! Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 94 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2007 Posts: 94 | I am looking for a set of cab lights, vintage, not new. Hopefully, someone has a set that is sitting on a parts truck outside. I am looking for PATINA, not shiny chrome....the duller the better.....mind you, not rotted and/or pitted... DEFINITELY want glass lenses and metal frames. FIVE would be great, THREE is okay. A good used set that will match my old truck... http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y165/mgcarma/61%20Apache/DSCN5400.jpgYep, she's a BEAUT!

Find a slavage yard that has alot of older big trucks, like 1 1/2 ton an bigger. Almost all of those shoulf have the lights you want, just look for a similar year range truck. Be warned, though, that most likely, the bases will be totally rotted, and the sockets most likely will not work. But if you're handy enough, one could make new bases (they can't be seen with the chrome part in place.).

So far, no one is repoping the old cab lamps or gaskets. Shouldn't be too hard, just get a sheet of 1/8" rubber, use the base as a pattern, and cut them out. Might need a hole punch to do the screw holes.
