Hey I'm finishing up my 1958 ford f100 tow truck and I need a dome light. Can you point me in the right direction?

 

Welcome to FTE!

Have you looked around much? Here's an original from Ebay that's a little pricey.

and this one maybe http://www.ebay.com/itm/1957-58-FORD-DOME-LIGHT-LENS-NOS-1113-/310861285835?_trksid=p2054897.l4276
However, there are many ebay sellers that are clueless, so be sure of what you are buying.

 

Most of the vendors have them in their catalogs.

 

I don't have a problem finding the lens it's the entire dome light that I'm missing. Will a 1959 work?

Apparently the lens is repopped, but not the bezel. So, finding a NOS or used one is your only option, if you want to stay original.

I would at least consider the 59-60 version, both lens and bezel are repopped.

NumberDummy, or someone else may be able to give you the actual part number to search out an NOS one.

 

(sigh) Both of these are B8A-13783-A = 1957/58 Ford PASSENGER CARS except convertibles.

The clueless ebay sellers description for the first lens says all except station wagons. BS!
