truck has no dome light

[Captkaos]

Those holes are from something the previous owner did.
Adding a headliner won't help with the dome light, you still need to cut a hole.

here you go!




held the light up so you can compare it to the hole. i would probably cut the hole just a little bit bigger then the recessed part of the light and then just use self tapping screws to attach it (make sure there not too long of course) if you need anything else let me know like i said i have a few of these trucks threw out the year models so i usually can get pics info etc hope this helps you out,

     75_chevy, the pic of your visor! I do not see any holes.  If you are wanting to mount a dome light, the first question should be is, do you plan or want to install a head liner in your truck ?
     Regardless you will have to get wires up to the light, that means going between the 2 pieces of roof metal or running behind headliner and door post moulding if equipped or installed.
     I am thinking of something like this,

 It has a dome light built right into the middle.

I would like to put one in in the future but for now I'm just going to drill some holes and mount this dome light I got.

here's some more pics of the holes above the visor

     On my 74 it has 3 holes there where the rear view mirror was mounted at one time.  I am not sure what those 2 holes would have been for.

If you don't feel like cutting a hole in your interior roof (and I wouldn't blame you.) you could disconnect the wires for the overhead dome light, and install or repair your floorboard dome light. Does your truck have the lower dome light? It's under the dash a little bit to the passenger side of the ash tray, if I remember right.

I wonder if those two holes above each sun visor are from previously having a panoramic rear-view mirror installed sometime in the past.

is that how they mount? I like those things

     The mounting holes for those are usually father apart.

     I just did a Google image search, and you're absolutely right. Those mirrors attach way farther out.

     Looks like I was wrong. See above.

     I like those mirrors, too. I've not seen them very often any more, and kind of forgot about them.
