First time posting so I will try and make it quick. When I bought my truck( 85 C10) the previous owner had those orange cab lights installed on the top of the cab. As far as removing them goes, I think I have that figured out. My question is, I assume there is a hole for the wiring to run to the actual light, how would I go about filling that hole to prevent rust?

In our shop I would weld them and then wipe some body filler then paint it. are you wanting to fix the holes or just plug them?
-
Welding it would be the best. Or are you looking for a quick fix to keep the water out?

Great minds think alike ha ha

Well eventually the truck will get a new coat of paint, once I get the interior and engine to a point I am satisfied with, so I guess a temporary plug, though it sounds like eventually they will have to be weld up.

Harvey85- for a quick fix on the screw holes use a grommet washer and a dab of sealant. For the other holes if they are larger than a screw...I guess we would have to see a picture of the holes the previous owner made. Hopefully he didn't butcher it up too bad.

That's a really good idea! Thanks for the advice...now if it will just quit raining long enough for me to actually pull them off.
