I'm with DarrellJ coda...
I'd be willing to bet that there are better things on that nice Dent-side you could spend your hard earned money on. Cab mounts? engine work? How about the interior-recovering that bench seat etc...
Your truck looks so nice without a roll cage.

I'm saying: don't mount the lights. Sell the lights, then take the $1500+ and buy some parts it might need (ie: recover the seat like Coda suggested, or replace the dash pad).
Better yet, that money would buy a bunch of goodies to make the truck run better ie: intake, carb, exhaust.
Or look better! With $1500 I would save up the rest of the pennies required and have it painted...
Just my .02. I'm about having "safe and reliable" rather than "bling bling" any day.

That is definitely NOT A ROLLCAGE. It is just a lightbar holding a set of lights. It would do diddly in a rollover. A proper rollcage is a set of DOM tubing welded in the cab to protect the occupants. Like everbody else says, don't do it.
