The dome light bulb listed in my '78 owner's manual is a 561. I am assuming it would be the same for the '77, if you are talking about the truck listed in your sig.

I have an invisible lense cover. It functions similar to the after market clear lense except you can't see it.

Thank you so much...I will finally be able to see again after dark; I did order a LED one from Amazon but they are saying it is 2 weeks out for delivery so, in the meantime, I guess I need a OEM replacement incandescent..
