Hard to find flip down done/cargo light. In good condition, chrome isn't the best, but the lens is nice and not all yellowed. Untested and a little dirty..but I'll give it a bath before shipping. Asking $50 shipped to anywhere in the lower 48 states.

Thats pretty cool!

It has 2 bulbs in it, when it is in the normal position only one is lit, when you swing it down the second bulb also comes on. It is a pretty simple design.

The hole in the sheet metal must have been different (larger) for the earlier years that had it as an option as I had to expand mine to mount it.

The interior light hole changed in either 84 or 85. 73-83 has the larger hole in interior roof panel with diagonal mounting screws. 1985 and newer had the small hole with the centered holes on the side. Not sure which way 84 went.

very cool! Never seen that before but a very cool and clever trick! Actually great with a roll bar behind the cab that blocks the regular cargo light. with this (thinking of LED upgrade), that would actually solve that issue! What was the option code for this? And what years was this optio offered?
