I’m thinking of putting some clearance lights on the roof of my truck. I would like to use either the type that would have been on a 61-66 Ford truck or a light with a small metal housing and an amber lens, preferably a Ford made light. The aftermarket metal & glass ones I find are too big.
I am not sure what Slicks came with cab clearance lights? Were they an option, and if so were they the same as the ones on the 67-72 trucks? I have seen trucks with only 3 lights and trucks with 5 but I don’t know if they were original. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

hey bud,, I took some factory lights, at least i think they were,, they were hooked up to a funky toggle switch, anyway still got-em bro, took them off the slick, thought they looked kinda funky lookin, never gave them a chance, but if ya want them they are yours..they still shine brightly, and still look funky,,, but hey,, look at the bright side,, I have no use for them, lookin for the clean look, maybe it'l help you get the look you are lookin for....they are as clean as they come, do you have any gems???
I agree that the clean look is good on a lot of trucks especially a street cruiser. One of the best parts of being around this stuff is all the different styles and types people build, I can appreciate everything from the concours restorations to the prostreet muscle trucks and most everything in-between and as crazy as it may sound I constantly see old rust buckets I wouldn’t mind having. My truck doesn’t have that street cool look it’s got more of a big truck personality. I have a few minor things I want to try and get done this winter; roof lights, west coast mirrors and 4x4 front fenders are the easy ones. More involved projects include installing an nv4500 5speed installing my Koenig pto winch and finishing the Mass-Flo injection system I started last winter. Thanks for the roof light offer I will pm you.
