Clearance Lights
I've searched for clearance lights here and at MotorHaven, and at Ford Obselete Parts, but can't find them.
Is there another name for them? The lights on top of the cab.

Paul,
Do you have a photo of the lenses you need?
They are called "Roof Lights"
Clearance lights are normally on the fenders.

Since we're on the subject, I'm missing one lense for my 78. Here's a picture of what they look like. Paul, I'm assuming yours are the same, correct?

Re: Photo
Yes, I have those too.
Chrome is spelled with an h.
Marker yes front to back Front fender to rear fender.
Clearance lights are "side to side" if a vehicle is wider than 80"
Roof lights denote something: "Vehicle height" ?
Too Much fun ?
We'll let the chicken cannon figure it out !

I have always heard "Roof Lights" refered to as clearance lights and the the side lights are know as side markers. Sorry Dennis looks like your out numbered on the name of the lights

Sorry Dennis, guess I must have been in such a hurry typing I missed the H in Chrome. Someone needs to get a spell check on here! Doesn't clearance usually have to do with height? Such as on an underpass: Clearance 13'6"
The "clearance" lights also denote how large a vehicle is (weight class). Atleast from what I've read any vehicle rated over such and such weight must have lights so it is "more visible"...
Just for kicks here is some more slang for our pesky light naming problem:
"This is the factory wiring only to run the Factory Optional Roof Marker Lights. Also known as DOT lights, clearance lights, marker lights, camper lights. These are the 5 running lights that are found on top & outside of some cabs."
Sorry for the length of the quote but it came directly from an auction on Ebay for some NOS wiring.
