Anybody come up with a good cargo light retrofit? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Mind-designing my '62 K10... it's going to be built for USE, so I'm looking to do things that make life easier.
Anybody come up with a good cargo light to fit the cab of our trucks?

I want something that looks like it's supposed to be there, not something added on.

There are some threads on adding a third brake light and you may be able to find a light that has the cargo light in it. From what I can remember the light that was a close fit was a suburban light. I looked at the 88 to 94 truck light and thought it may be adaptable but never got far enough on the 65 before I sold it to try it.

Alternative suggestion: Assuming it is a fleetside, you can install lights under the bed rails on either side to illuminate cargo in the bed. That provides functionality while remaining tucked up out of sight.

Some of these come with cargo lights, just have to look around.
