Howdy folks.
Were there any options for under hood lighting for our trucks?
Factory accessory options or what not?
I read that there is an option for the Chevy cars of the same time frame, but it was not standard.
What have any of you come across?

It's for a Chevy, but looks pretty generic--single wire, metal housing, with a switch inside that closes (makes contact) when the light is tipped at an angle--when the hood is up.
I got it from YearOne, but any metal-bodied position light will work. Being for a '60s muscle car, it has a factory appearance to it.

When you open the hood, it automatically switches on, when you close the hood...it turns off. Pretty cheap too? $25.00 bucks. Got a catty right here...part number 36-4502 ---- underhood lighting - thread in 60-66 section @ 67-72 trucks site Some interesting stuff in there! ---- -W | | |
