Make sure you don't drill all the way through 'smiliedoh'

I have seen them on 80s but not the Dentside

They go on the cross bracing.
Pull cord ?
All the ones I have seen are a mercury switch
That one looks like it is from a Lincoln

I think he means it has the pull out light on a recoil.

My 78's got an underhood light (it doesn't work, but it is there). ...it's nothing like that one though. The bulb is actually fixed to the hood. Perhaps mine's a jerry-rig job, but it appears to plug into a proper connector near the firewall

Yours looks pretty neat though. You should find some way to get that going.

Looks like the one I had on my 86 F250

My 79 has a factory one, but the wifes on vacation with the camera. I can post a pic next week.

Mr Mouse has a different switch, that came on Lincolns.

Here is what he should have.. not some fancy schmancy light

That's what mine looks like.
