Re: Period Correct Accessaries for your truck...

That flashlight may be period correct and would be cool to see in the truck. But the sight of a flashlight from that era still heats my blood. I don't think I ever used one that would stay on longer than just as I was about to do what I needed the light for. Typical use went like this: Turn on, put tool on fastener, light blinks off, shake it and get light, put it on the work it goes out, repeat several times, then no light at all, throw light hoping you get to see it fly into pieces Back then is when I discovered Kel-Lites which became Maglites. There was a rubber coated clip-in mount for those I used to have on the bottom of the dash of these trucks. I never threw another flashlight
