Installing Cab Lights to Non-Cab Light Vehicle
Hey all,
I've had my 1986 K5 Silverado for quite a few years now and it's teated me well. However, I think that it's time to give the old girl a new look. I was thinking about putting cab lights on the roof of the cab because not only would it look BAD ***, but it would also add a nice subtle touch to the vehicle overall. The only problem is that this vehicle did not come through with cab lights therefore I have no idea what the proper spacing is for the lights. If there are any of you guys out there that have the dimensions or better yet a template that I could reference off of, please let me know and it will be much appreciated.
Thanks guys,
CJ

I don't have the exact measurements for it. When I did it on my truck I moved the lights around until they looked good then used a tape measure to make sure the spacings were all the same. I did the usual spacing with the 3 in the middle closer together. I measured 20 or 30 times before I drilled holes in my roof. lol

Factory measurements for the squares is as follows:
|-3.25-O-----12.75-----O-2.75-O-2.75-O-----12.75-----O-3.25-|
With the '|' denoting the drip rails, the 'O' is the lights, and the dashes are for spacing. All lights are back 3.25" from the windshield.
