Re: Running lights
Can you post a pic? I have a buddy that was around when these trucks were new and he has a encyclopedic knowledge of chevys, I will check with him and report back.

Re: Running lights
My understanding, though it may be incorrect, is that the factory optioned clearance lights were available with the raised areas on the roof. Beyond that, the dealer may have installed them or the previous owner. My c30 has 5 lights, a raised pad for each and what I think is commonly called 'firemans hat" lenses. Can't seem to find replacement lenses.

Re: Running lights
If you find a replacement that is suitable, post it up here. I am going to have to replace mine as well on the 1966 C30 I am working on.

Re: Running lights
They're not that hard to find- used or new. Search the net for "yankee 77 light"

Re: Running lights
I would think the wiring may be something of a challenge.

Re: Running lights
Run your hand up the rear pillar where the filler tube passes.. You can sometimes find a rolled up clearence light wiring harness hidden there. An original installation instructions can be found in my Picasa album link.
