Cargo Light and switch questions

[71PA_Highboy]

Hello,

I am trying to install a Cargo light onto my 71 Highboy... I have a couple of questions:

Since i have a manual Choke, where does the Cargo light switch get mounted? I think I remember seeing an underdash mount used for the light switch, but I cannot remember.

Also, it appears that the wiring is no longer around (gremlins) - Does anyone have an extra harness from the switch to the Light?

If not, does anyone have a wiring diagram for the cargo light? I dont seem to see one on the site.

Thanks in Advance!!!

this is for a '68, but it looks about the same to me.

my ranger mounts under the dash.

Mines between the choke and the steering column, on the dash. To the right of the column it goes cargo switch, choke, and lighter.

I already have 3... choke, Emergency lights, lighter...

I think it is going under the dask..

Anyone have an underdash Mount?


This is starting to get expensive....

My emergency switch is in the glove box, so they must have changed that over in `70 or `71.

Sorry, can't help you with the under dash mount, other than to say check around junkyards or maybe at Napa. You can also check out your local Ace Hardware, you'ld be surprised what you'll find to make things work. I'm fortunate, in that the guys at the hardware store here in town have been working there for a long time, and they know what they have everywhere. If I describe what I want, they'll show me a few different ways of accomplishing it with what they have in stock, or offer suggestions on where I can go to get the stuff I need (if they don't have it, which is pretty rare).

oops i remembered wrong mine is in th dash and my emergency flashers are under the dash.

The bracket for the tank switch or emergency flasher might work for the under dash installation of the cargo light switch. For the patient from time to time, I see the complete harness with switch and fixture and the duel tank switch and bracket on eBay.
