Rarest of the Rare?

This has to be one of the lowest production number options for the square body that there is . I am sure that there are rarer items but this is pretty rare . I wanted to post pics so while you guys are out looking through the yards , you will know that this is actually factory if you see one. Jeff (BIGBLOCK73) knows the option number for this I think . This is a combo dome and cargo lamp assembly. It tilts down to illuminate the bed or cargo area using the interior dome lamp. It shines through the rear window. It has two large tubular bulbs in it .One operates in normal mode while it is up in the normal position. There is a second bulb that comes on when it is flipped down to illuminate the bed. You can see the contacts that are broken by a tab that is part of the tilt down portion. It is shown in the last picture of the first post. You can also see the contacts in the pictures taken from the rear of the light assembly .When it is put in the normal position it breaks contact on the second light wiring. This thing is bright with just one bulb. When both are on it will draw in bugs from the next county. I did not know these existed until I read a thread about them on this board a few years ago .Enjoy.
