crap behind cargo light assembly
couple questions-
is there supposed to be stuff akin to Dow's Great Stuff behind the cargo light assembly? I pulled it out and behind there was that yellowish looking dried foam. Thinking previous owner/idiot put it there??
Correct bulb = 1076? Thinking yes, but my owner's manual has it wrong...

Sounds like there may have been a leak there and the PO tried to seal it with foam.
The bulb depends on the year model. They changed the cargo light styles in '77, I believe. My '76 Crew has a large bulb; 1156 if I recall.

before serial # Y60,001 - 74/77 - 1156 bulb
from serial # Y60,001 - 77/79 - 912 bulb
Since you have a 74 and 77 in your signature I posted both.
If you have the push and turn type its 1156. The other one just pushes in.
1076 bulb says it was for 73 only.

Thanks. On the bulb, the socket has two spring loaded terminals whereas a 1156 bulb has just one. I pushed & turned in an 1156 and it shorted the terminals and blew fuse. The 1076 'looks' right? And interestingly the owners manual calls for a 1156.

Is this on your 74, If the socket has two pronges in it, I would try the 1076 bulb.

Yes. On my 74. Apologies I didn't make it clear. My mfr date is 6/74. Not sure where the s/n is.

Sometimes you see parts and they say "Before or from ser" thats the last 6 in your vin. If your truck does take the 1076 bulb thats kinda weird since its listed as 73 only. Maybe someone broke that socket at some point and replaced it with one of the 2 pronge ones. The bulbs are basically the same except for the connectors.
