Title: Flip Down Dome / Cargo Light
Post by: cgcalkins on December 23, 2008, 08:12:01 pm

I am looking for an original flip down dome / cargo light combination found in some 73-87 trucks.  It is roughly square in shape with a silver plastic surround. Any information on where to find one would be greatly appreciated.  I have already checked ebay to no avail.

Thanks for the help.

Good Luck.  The one I know of is in a buddies 77 pickup.

My guess would be that it sits like a regular dome light in our trucks, but when you need an extra light in the bed, it tilts down so that it can shine through the rear window....

Yep, that is correct.  He has been traveling during Christmas and I haven't caught him yet.
