Does anyone know a good source to purchase "replacement" cab lights for square body chevy/gmc's? LMC looks to sell kits but they look to be for the 88-99 OBS chevy versions (looks like the mounting is different). There has got to be a company out there that sells replacement bolt up versions...maybe even in LED version right? Does anyone know of a link they can post up? I want to replace my lenses and stuff on mine too as most of them are cracking and breaking. LED would be great but I can't seem to find anything
 
I got mine from truck lite. They are direct replacements for lenses and I'm not sure about led though. I'll cruise the catalog later on and try to give part numbers.

Cab lights
1313A
tailgate lights

saw this post the other day, might be worth a look for the cab lights https://ck5.com/forums/threads/way-cool-company-to-deal-with.332761/#post-3847732

I kinda don't want the clear version ones...but if all else fails it's nice to know I can get those clear replacement lenses (the smoked versions are not my style). Thanks!

Nice! What about the cab light versions (I already replaced my tailgate lights last year)? Looks like they have so many part numbers it's ridiculous, haha
 
Yeah the catalog is pretty extensive. I didn't see led equipped 1313a bit it's just a 194 bulb in there.
 
I bought those but used my original bases. The wiring is riveted in to the new bases.
 
Just picked up a tailgate for my cc that has the clearance light holes and some inner parts I need to find the 5 red lights and wiring possibly. I could wire them myself but it seems there should be something available
 
Found this

Partsam 5x Cab Marker Clearance Round Light Amber Cover 1313A+ Amber T10 LED Bulb for 1969 - 1987 GMC Chevy C K Series Pickup Trucks Dually Suburban Blazer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0744CYBL8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Cu3BAb35G7JPD
I bought that kit a few months ago. The lenses are more "clear" than factory so not right if you want an exact factory match. But perfect if you want an updated set that bolt right up.

The one on the right is the LED bulb, the others are regular 194 bulbs. I personally thought the LED bulbs made them more yellow than Amber and brighter than I wanted so I stuck with regular bulbs with the Partsam lenses:

I snagged a set of cab lights off an Isuzu box truck at the junkyard some years ago,along with the wiring harness,they look to me just like the ones GM used on square body's...amber lenses,5 lamps in all,3 close together in the middle and one off to each side...
I never did get around to installing them--found out my pickup's roof is covered with 1" of bondo,its rotted around the rain gutters and and its peeling off,I guess a tree caved the roof in before I bought it--figured it'd just create more leaks and wasn't work messing with them..

I just bought that kit off amazon yesterday too...$20 plus free shipping :saweet:. I'm not going for a factory look either. Since I replaced my tailgate lights with LED's, it made the cab lights look dull and faded...so now they should at least all look somewhat the same.
