Re: Backup lights NP435

Just to add some worthless information, that cargo light started as a backup light on a 64 thunderbird.

Re: Looking for someone with a 65 or 66 with original C-6 tr

Just look at any 70's truck. I used 460,c6, and column from 79 and didn't have to adjust linkage, it fit so well. Just moved from one truck to the other.

Steering column spaced below dash, 64 or earlier. I would want to see vin on frame, not door or glove box.
