'65 OEM Bed light?

Has anyone seen or heard of one of these?

It supposedly mounted on the cap to shine into the box......

Thanks for any info!

Barnie, I have both seen and heard of them, but not on your year model truck. It was several years later before they were factory installed. You should be able to find one to your liking at your friendly local salvage yard and install it on your truck. IMHO

You can tell we're truck guys. But in Barnie's actual question, he never said anything about a truck. He DID mention a bed, a cap (not a cab), and a box.

If you use your imagination, you might be able to picture ANOTHER scenario.

Well, it's not original...but I have seen several of the 1961-66's with a 1960-63 Falcon dome lamp mounted above the rear window. This is the (somewhat) rectangular shaped chrome plastic bezel/opaque lens affair. This may have been a dealer install....way back when.
