My '72 GMC had this spotlight in it already when we bought it in 1979. I have no idea if it was dealer installed. Looks similar to your setup.

Thanks and it is a good candidate for a short box. I've also thought about a crew cab build but that would take lots of time and we have other projects to finish first. The 6 cylinders are great engines. The 292 we have only has 55,000 miles and should work great in a 4x4. The v6 will go to good use. The spot light on your truck looks just like ours.
