    I want to put some lights in the cab of the 61 and like LEDS. I found these on the internet.
    3" LED dome light. I think two mounted it the headliner over the seats.

    Or maybe this one over the rear window

    These are small and I think four would be good, one behind each seat and one on each side of the console near the floor in front

    I think four of these on top of the console. They come in 6",9" and 12" lengths. They would be mounted in birds eye maple.

    I was amazed at how much light those singles put out. I spaced four of them over the seats to replace the dome light, Not super bright but im sure I could read a map by them. Got a cheap one for the back has 6 leds in it, very directional tho and I will eventually replace it with something else. I also have 6 singles in the cieling of the cargo area ,, makes great general light. I saw some cool corded leds that were sewn to a door panel to edge the flame pattern a guy had done, they were almost unnoticable when off, very small.

    Thanks for the input Digz. I have been looking at the mini LEDs too.

    A lot depends on the wattage of these lights, as there is a lot of cheap stuff coming in from the far east that is rubbish. I have 4 in my van that are 3.6 watts each. These are each the equivalent of a 20 watt halogen bulb, and make great interior lights....
