My father is accidentally doing a full restoration of a '69 C20 pickup. It has some weird but factory cab lights, but one of them has been replaced and doesn't match. He wants to get a full set but can't find this 2 year only hockey puck style. Everything is the fireman's hat or teardrop style.

Anyone know where I could find a set of these?

I can't find anything like that on Truck-Lite, Peterson or Optronics catalogs. Does the newer one have any markings on the lens?

Grote has a pretty good selection of round clearance lights. I'm guessing most are meant for trailers, not cabs, but I don't know if it really makes a difference. You might have to get creative with the gasket to seal it.

Make silicone mold and make a new full set?

My buddies '73 had the teardrops. For some reason I'm a big fan of these lights.   

Are your dads stock Chevrolet?

Wow, even LMC Truck doesn't have them!  With the circular boss on the roof, anything non-OEM won't work.  =~ (

 

Correction: 

I googled 69 chevy clearance lights and LMC Truck popped up; the image shows exactly what you need but the text doesn't match.  I would give them a call.  1-800-562-8782.

You are probably going to have to go to a commercial truck supply place and find something the same diameter. Maybe these guys. https://www.vehiclesafetysupply.com/index.php I had to do the same thing to find lights for SanFord.

If there is any information on the existing lights a google search may turn up something as well.

Weird, my '70 c50 has the fireman hats I think. Which reminds me, I need to replace a broken one.

Nothing to add except that I have never seen round ones like that.

They were mid year 69 to 70 only.

Looks like these have the round base with two screws and grommet but different shape for the light.

I haven't found a set yet but I'll be dammed if I'm going to send $200 to a "new reader" with a post count of 1 digging up a year old thread.

I understand that. I ran across this as I searching for a roof panel for a member on the 67-72chevytrucks.com  forum. I'm more active in the truck forum.

1. I stand corrected, 2. What a find, and 3. Looks like a legit seller
