Truck-Lite LED's - fit any 7" opening & are 12V - we use a 24V version on all of our MRAP vehicles in Afghanistan & they are BRIGHT!!!!! Also tough as heck so they should last me a LONG time!!!

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
 

I'm impressed with the power in that thing.......wow. Jealous! I'm going to have to check out those specs again at a later date.

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
 

So was I man!!!! Was actually amazed - not sure what I actually expected it to be, but never thought it would pull like that at all.... It should get even better with a proper exhaust & complete tuning on a dyno to optimize it all!

Were did you get the lights?

Sorry this is a PDF, but here's the rear bumper design that Keven came up with for me. Think it looks pretty good & WAY tougher than what I have right now!!! The holes on either side of the license plate (which isn't what mine will be) are for the trailer plug & the jumper cable quick connect.

He should have cut it out today & will get it welded up this week so hope I get picks to post up.

Did yo see the new ones they came out with?? HERE

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
 

Man those dang lights are pricey.

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
 

Yeah, but worth every penny over the stock versions!!!

wow thanks thats more than i paid for mine but they do look good

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
 

Worse yet, that's half the cost of the VisionX LED light bar on the front push bar... But. On the plus side I won't have ANY issues seeing at night in this thing!!!

Of course they are expensive! The military uses the 24V versions!

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
 

How bad will it be for the traffic coming towards you? I've always wondered that about these truck lite LED's.

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
 

Guess I'll see if they start high beaming me...

:lol: Nice. I quit flashing high beams, I just swerve over now. :ito:

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
 

Ugggg.... Today is the day I get back on a plane to head back to Afghanistan - this sucks!!!

Knew it had to come though... Been a good vacation home & so happy I was there for my SOn's graduation & enrollment in College! Also got to see my Daughter have her piano recital & of course all the work we did on her truck while I was here was GREAT!!!

Boys in college & Daughter needs braces so it's back I go no matter what - hehe!

Keven hasn't sent me any pics yet of the cut-out & welded up bumper, but hope he does by Friday. Keep checking back as I'll be posting again once I get back to my base like normal.

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
 

I'd hate to see the diesel longhorn and the 77CC go head to head like that. It would be historic tradgedy!

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
 

His 77 may be on the road first, his already runs. At least he can do burn outs! :lol: I have to do push outs. :waah:

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
 

I love it when Semi trucks flash me. They learn very quickly that I am running my dims!

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
 

Keven & I went back and forth a little bit to come up with a little better looking & tougher design for the rear bumper - think we hit it pretty good this time!!!

He added a nice little "kick out" at the bottom center & also dropped it a bit closer to the receiver hitch so there wasn't that large gap.

He's going to try to do a "fold down" license plate deal to conceal a small compartment to hold my air & jumper cable quick connects so they aren't visible normally which I think will make for a nice effect if he can get it done that way!!!

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
 

And here's where we ended with my Daughter's truck... Not nearly as far as I'd hoped, but due to a snafu with the leaf spring bushing order I couldn't get the driver side spring mounted so I could get the axle mounted up solid...

We did get the fuel cell mounted up in place luckily. Oh well, there's always next time home!!!

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
 

Your bumper looks awesome! Nice progress on your daughter's truck. It's coming along very nice.

Re: 1977 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Build
 

That is definitely a mean looking bumper! How close do those vertical plates get to the tailgate?
