Cargo Light and Doom Light

Post by davbell22602 »

Is my 67 F100 supposed to have a cargo light and doom light? I have spot for the cargo light switch on the dash. Here's pics if that helps any. I think somebody filled in the holes and painted over it with that brown looking color. The factory exterior color is supposed be all white. I acquired this already in pieces almost 2 years ago.

The cargo light was an option...not standard issue and not alot of people got it. The dome light on the other hand is. Here's a pic of my 67 dash....kinda hard to see,but it's there. click on the image and enlarge it....you'll somewhat see the chrome delete button..thats missing out of your truck

All trucks have holes in the dash for a switch but they came with a chrome plug in the hole if there was no light ordered. Hawkrod

Never seen the hole in any of the base pre-70 trucks I've owned.

Maybe I need to another pic of my dash since the column is out. That we all can determine what goes in of the holes. I still think I'm supposed to a cargo light. Maybe the PO does good body work when hiding things like this.

Obviously you are right, I have never had one that did not have a chrome plug and obviously mistakenly assumed that they were all that way. My 67 does have a chrome plug but it is a Ranger. Hawkrod
