It's not the best picture but the only one I have on my computer. I can get you a better picture this weekend if someone hasn't posted one by then.

Thanks for the pic.Is it just pushed through the hole or does it have a bracket there.I undone mine some 25 yrs ago and put a toggle switch there for something(it's been so long I forgot)

I've had one in a box of parts for years. I couldn't figure out what it was for until now.

And I thought I wasn't going to learn anything today . I assume this light is activated through the headlight switch?

The factory map light is turned on when you turn on the overhead lamp in the wiper motor cover.The feed wire and bulb(no.1895)are the same as the instrument panel guage illumination,hi beam,turn signal,and radio.This is not on all models.Thanks to dirt donk awhile back that I rediscovered that I had one.I had pulled the bulb out yrs ago and stuffed it up behind the dash panel and over the yrs had mounted several other things under the edge of the dash and had completely forgot about it.You know you've had the same truck to long when you can't blame nothing on a P.O.
