Uh, and how does this pertain to 67-72 Chevy trucks, and shouldn't this be in the GD if anywhere? LOL

Here is the real question: Stock/NOS or repro/modified light bulbs? If were to do a concourse restoration of a light fixture, I'd try to find a NOS bulb or a very nice used one. However, it is just a light fixture and let's face it, stock is kind of boring. There are many different types of replacement bulbs that can make your fixture a little different than the other guys. Along with aftermarket bulbs, I also like to modify the fixture to suit my own tastes. I try to keep the overall appearance of the fixture stock, but make subtle changes to make it unique. It's all about personal preference. To each his own!

You forgot to mention that lightbulbs were the rarest option on 67-72 Chevy trucks but lamps were original eqipment. But I once knew a guy who had a 2nd cousin, who knew a dude that once talked to a man who had an ex girlfriend that used to go out with a Chevy/GMC dealer who sawa picture of a 67 Chevy 1/2 ton that had factory lightbulbs and it stated it on his option sheet:p
