Will be going on my '76 k20 flatbed w/ west coast towing mirrors. I've still got to find a visor in good shape, and no, no amount of coaxing will get me to NOT put a visor and some kind of cab lights on my truck. ;D

A picture would help, I don't know what some of those look like.
-
links to pics added, on my lunch break atm, will try to attatch them directly to the post after work.

i selected the ford ones for the vote cause they look like the stock lights on my 1980 dually.
-
I've been leaning toward the ford lights for the same reason, they look similar to the late 70's stock chevy lights
-
The dodge ones look like a computer mouse...
The dodge and chevy look too flat to see from the ground.
I like the ford superduty ones.

I am a big fan of the 3 piece cab lights, I would go with something like these:
-
Why not just buy the correct ones, that one place that were not supposed to talk about has all the parts in a kit.

On getting the correct ones... depends on the look you're going for. if you are going for the stock look, go ALL stock. If, like me you want stock yet updated, go for the newer style. I'd put the newer styles on my current truck, but NOT my last two trucks.
I know this is a stretch... but... I go for the look as if my truck was NEW TODAY with modern trends. My truck is basically stock, but with big rims and brightest lights, best sound system, etc.

While I like the shape of the original lights, I've never seen them in a smoked lens. Clear and amber lenses are out because..they're not smoked ;)
As far as the three light setup goes, I'm not a big fan of em, I like a traditional high 5 clearance/marker light arrangement.
Thanks for all the input so far.
