Blazer courtesy lights

[57taskforce]

In recently installed the blazer floor courtesy lights, plug and play factory style from painless. They work great and I love them, Although I had to use different door switches because the ones sent were too small for the factory Cheyenne switch holes. No big deal, Napa had factory style replacements for a little more than $10 total. My factory switches were both bent and not useable.

Here’s my question on this. I’ve always seen that these floor courtesy lights were only offered on certain blazers with the double wall top that had no dome light. My truck had the holes pre drilled in the bottom of the dash for these lights, the inside of my truck is factory paint and the holes were still painted over in the original dark olive poly, ie they had never had screws or a drill bit in them. The mounting screws that came in the kit fit the holes perfectly. I didn’t think to take a picture of it at the time, it didn’t hit me till I thought back on it that those holes might have been out of place. In talking to another member he said his cab had the holes from the factory as well and he thought they were drilled in all of them. So Definitively, did only blazers get these lights? Could they be ordered as a stand alone option on the pickups? Or did GM just make the holes in all of the dashes so they didn’t have to make a blazer specific dash? I’m curious to see the responses here.
