I have an 85 i am getting painted I had AfterMarket Cab Light's on it i am thinking of removing them , Putting ones like i had back on , Or putting on a set of these late models

*1972C10* · 07-26-2004, 12:08 AM

Here is what i had before I was thinking about getting some just like these but with Black Base's If i did that all the holes would already be there

Soryy buddy but I say remove them. I'm not much in favor of cab lights unless the are required for the truck....

cliffsta · 07-26-2004, 06:24 PM

hmm its not my truck, so do what you want, but i think cab lights are kinda goofy. i'd fill in those holes.

Jonboy · 07-27-2004, 12:24 AM

me three. Or paint the bases, since filling that many holes on a black truck will be no fun.

*1972C10* · 07-27-2004, 03:34 AM

Im going to have my body man fill them in and make it right so if i dont put any back on it will be smooth with no flaws or if i want to i can add them later either way Ill treat it like that chrome trim if i like the way it looks without Its staying off.

great idea to cover those hole(s)! - It would look much better w/ out them.

Im going to have to go against the grain. This however is assuming that you are keeping your truck in the same "form" as it is now. Keep the old style lights, I think they look really cool on a regular height or lifted truck with kind of a mean look... Thats just me tho.

*1972C10* · 07-27-2004, 06:17 PM

Yeah i kinda think they look mean at night When i pull up to a store with big glass front and i have all four headlights and the park lights and cab lights on looks neat

Im just going to have him fill in the holes real nice paint it and ill decide later if i decide to try the late models ill set them up there first and look it over

I'm gonna go against the grain too, and say to keep em!

I love my clearance lights, make my truck downright mean at night
