I searched but couldn't find any threads where someone added roof lights. I like em and what to put em on my dent, is there a template or somethin to go off of before I start to drill holes?

I think the problem is that FTE'ers just use the search box above. Don;t use the search box..... Always use the search drop-down and "Advanced Search" because it allows you to search specific forums. Otherwise, it searches all of FTE from day one and returns an overwhelming number of pages making it seem useless. Try it.

Key words are very important. As you can see above,sometimes its roof lights, cab lights, or even marker lights.

Not that it's a big deal, but I have always liked an evenly spaced look for the cab lights rather than the 1-3-1 pattern from factory. You could always just throw down some tape across the front of the roof, set your lights down and see what you like best. When you find out where you want, trace around the lights and screw holes and start drilling. The toughest part is going to be fishing the wires up there, but it shouldn't be too bad.

Thank you kind sir, I stand before you with hat in hand and a shamed look on my face

I used the search box but from now on will use the advanced search. Thanks again and I have always been partial to the 1-3-1 set up. I grew up a kid in the trucker fad of the 70's-80's and just love all the trucker stuff on pickups. Just got me a NOS pair of deputy dawg mud flaps for my f 100

You're welcome. There is no shame in learning... but the other side of that is actually doing it. Go forth!

That looks sweet! Still unsure if I want to do the squarish lights or the older roundish lights on my 79' with soon to be 77 back front end truck.

I too want to do the cab lights. I like the evenly spaced configuration. Long way off, a lot of other projects first.
