What cab lights

I would like cab lights on my 59. I am wonder what the Ford offerings looked like. I would run 5 and also wondered if Ford even spaced them or did the 3 center cluster with the outer 2 spaced further. Any pictures appreciated.
I did find these on LMC. The ones with chrome look pretty good but who knows if they are even metal and not plastic chinese junk.

Upper pic: 1959 / Lower pic: 1960/63

1959 applications say F/T700/1100, but these lamps could be installed on anything.

T is an F series truck with tandem axles.

1960/63 applications include N/NT500/1100, introduced in 1963 cancelled after 1969.

Cab is basically the same as 1961/66 F series, but have a completely different front end that some people like the looks of, some don't.

Thanks ND.
So does anyone have pictures of their F series with the original configuration?

While these are not factory installed, they are period correct. The lights I used seem to be fairly common as I have found quite a few over the years. They are called Yankee 77s. My '92 F350 has 5 lights from the factory, evenly spaced, but I don't like that look. Seems nearly all the older trucks I see with 5 have the 3 center and the outers spaced out to the corners.

I like those Gary. I think I have 2 or 3 of them in a big box of random cab lights somewhere.

Spacing of lights due to weight classification.
