What is this?

[Fless]

Someone somewhere has to be looking for one of these!

Don’t know. The truck it’s on is a donor parts truck. Now that I know what it is, (Thanks @Jason in DLH ), I’ll definitely have to pull it and test it.

Will report back later on this.

Thanks for the credit, but the real thanks goes to the Google Photos App.

My old 91 Burb had one!

Mine works...it's pretty trick. Cool little feature you would never see on today's rigs.

They're pretty neat and rather easy to retrofit in other vehicles. Get a nice LED bulb in there and its a damn useful device.

^^^ What Jeremy said. They have a crappy incandescent bulb (as expected for the era). But, the cord is crazy long and will reach to the rear wheels and, IIRC, the back of the light is magnetic. It's actually a coveted piece for these rigs!

I sold many vehicles because of that feature. Turn it on, pull it to the back of the vehicle, and “stick it where the sun don’t shine.”

I think I have one of these floating around somewhere. The cord is long enough to reach to your back bumper.

New cheapy/useful mod for the masses.

You can get them at the junkyard for $5-10

My ‘97 Tahoe had one.
