Cigarette Lighter - Factory Option or Dealer Installed?
5 Attachment(s)
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if this was a factory option, a dealer installed cigarette lighter on the dash, or just someone who smoked a lot? It came off of a 1968 C20 Custom Camper that was heavily optioned. I'm including a copy of the glovebox sticker. I do know that it is a '67 bezel for the lighter.

99/1 it's a mod. Then again, I'm 50/50 on things I know little about:lol:

Factory Cigar Lighters were right of the Heater Controls. This was some PO's ''bright idea.''

That was the location for a choke cable or choke delete in 67-68.

Did the cigarette lighter ever become "standard" at some point, or come automatically with a certain trim level or option? I've seen it as a listed option on the SPID, and then on other trucks it's there without being listed on SPID. And by there, I mean in the factory position to the right of Heater/AC controls.

im pretty sure the cig lighter was a option but did come in most of our trucks, if you look for lighter deletes on here, youll see the plug that would go in the lighter hole area in the dash
FYI thats a 1968 dash cluster. and a 68-72lighter. |
Re: Cigarette Lighter - Factory Option or Dealer Installed?
Yeah someone added that to a 68 cluster, as other stated that was the choke knob location or the delete plate. Ive never seen a truck that didnt have a factory lighter to the right of the heater controls as it made the dash symmetrical with the ignition on the left side and lighters were pretty standard back then with how more people smoked back then.

My '70 had the delete plug, so I would guess it was an option in 1970.

My 71 C/20 was ordered new by the Burlington Northern Railroad. Radio and lighter were not ordered. The bigger omission was no power steering.

My '69 also has the lighter delete plug .
