Very cool! I don't know why, but I've always wanted a Quigley Van, there's just something about them that draws me in, lol.

On the headlights, I had to bend the steel mounting reinforcement brackets on mine to make them work correctly as well. The lights look good though! I like the way they look with the bumper you have.

Nice Rick!

And I am not too familiar with Quigley Conversion. I googled it and basically their site just said 2wd to 4x4.
What more do they do besides add a beefy axle to make it 4wd?

Headlights came out really good, Rick. I noticed I had to do a little tweaking on mine too to make them fit better, especially passenger side. Must be a thing on these trucks. Agreed on the light output being cleaner though - mine was a huge improvement.

I'm not entirely sure. They do the D60, the lift, and wheels and tires I think.

I think the interior was customizable. His has 4 captains chairs and cargo space.

I thought the lights made a huge improvement for the truck. Looks 10 years newer to me. We'll be doing the same set up on dad's truck when he gets home.

I was making hay Tuesday evening, and thought she looked pretty good, so I snapped a picture.


EDIT: Wow, that came out fuzzy!

I'm sure the sweat, dust and hay chaff didn't help any, lol.

For me its usually grease and grime getting on my phone camera. I think my phone has been in about every vehicle fluid there is.

I'm sure the quigley conversion is more than just throwing a D60 under it lol. Idk if the frame would need beefing up like a 2wd OBS or not. Plus adding a 4wd trans and t-case, suspension, getting the t-case gear selector through the floor, etc.

I just bought an Excursion instead of going through the hassle lol

And my gf always laughs when going through my pics on my phone lol. Truck, truck, truck, El Camino, truck, excursion, truck, ooo one of her! Truck, truck...
