Halogen headlights in classic cars/trucks struggle with dim and scattered light beams. The Dapper Lighting headlight kits embody the classic look while substantially upgrading the quality and spread of light. The unique hi-low switch design keeps the costs low while providing a clean and safe light cutoff design, eliminating the issue of "headlight dazing" on the roads. You get 7" round waterproof headlights and specially-designed 42mm Bi-Xenon projector (high and low beams) with adjustable light focus and flat light distribution to prevent blinding of oncoming traffic.

Re: (( 1960-1966 Chevy/GMC Pickup Truck Restoration/Modification/Customization Ideas

Re: (( 1960-1966 Chevy/GMC Pickup Truck Restoration/Modification/Customization Ideas
here are a few things i havent seen done before
i used the column shifter to actuate a ball valve for my air horns  made a dash extension/ trim piece and chopped down the column shift lever. also made a knob for it.  made a box that all the switches are mounted into to make it harder to hotwire if someone tried to steal it.    a folding wood bed floor

Here is my tailgate. Opens from the side, no latches showing, no release latch or handle showing, and hidden hinges. Had the lettering done by an airbrush artist also. The box floor has no bolts in the strips, and no mounting bolts in the wood.

Even when I was a young slim feller, I don't think I could climb into that thing. And once I "shoe-horned" myself in there, I don't think I'd be able to sit up.
But it does look like a hoot...!
