Anybody put caddy lights on the bed yet? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have the caddy light conversion for my '79 truck bed, but don't know if I want to do the conversion. I need to see a pic of how they look first. The original lights are a clean look too. So if I could see pics of how they look, then it will make it easier for me to decide.

Why do you want to ruin your truck and put those parts on?? UGLY

They dont look right with the body lines. They look better on the 67-72s where the stock lights have a similar shape. With the curve on the upper part of the bed and the square part in the middle it just doesnt flow.

I think your right prerunner. The body lines are what is messin with me right now and once I saw NU2TRUX truck done with the stock lights and moulding, everything flowed perfect. With the caddy lights, it just wont flow with the body lines....I think I am gonna stay stock.

Prerunner1982 · 11-20-2008, 02:57 PM

If you filled the stock holes and maybe turned the caddy lights on the sides an mounted them in the rear roll pan it might not look to bad.
