Anyone know where I could get clear or smoked ones that would fit my 79 that already has factory cab lights (their in rough shape).

I don't want to have to drill new holes.

Those are the kind of lights I want. I called them and they told me that they wouldn't fit the factory mount holes, I'd have to drill new holes.

Ok, now your making me do my impression of Number dummy!



YOU!, yes YOU!, ask about cab lights, and I was decent enough to share several pictures with you and explain how they were mounted, WHO else did this for your except mudwasp75.

If YOU look at post number 10, by 1977f250custom4X4 in his own admission said he was hijacking YOUR thread. I was ribbing him with the hijack posts, and I even answered his question!! SO it wasn't me hijacking ANYTHING!

So anyhow, what do you think pretty good impersonation??

SO jtpal, let us know and or see which ones you go with and you know we love to see pictures!!

Also who ever that was, the only way I know to keep cheap chrome from rusting it to not use it.


PS: A little background, back in the late 70's I worked at a Frod dealership, and the parts manager, his name was ROSS. Well every time you went to the parts counter, if you ask for the wrong thing, or didn't know what you were saying etc, ROSS would make it a point to bark at you, get your mind right and just generally make a dick out of you. It was all in good fun, but sometimes was not taken that way from those who didn't know him that well.

But when you walked away, you knew something new, and you were sure you had the right parts. Bill from reading his posts and interactions with others on here reminds me of ROSS alot. A great guy, a wealth of knowledge, and a ton of help, but sometimes people don;t know how to take him.

But also makes for some hilarious entertainment!

Oh yeah, I had to do that with my front bumper when I first got the truck. I keep it waxed pretty good, so it's no biggie now.

Hey? I think I am hijacking now! SHHHHHhhhhhh!,.........

Yeah, don't worry, its his way of "edjacatin" you up!

The avatar is the album cover of Molly Hatchet, No guts, no glory album from I belive 1983. This is when singer Danny Jo Brown came back in the band as he was the "voice" of Hatchet.

Its a picture of the band dressed in western wear walking up the dirt street in a western town. They did a music video with the same theme for the song "whats it gonna take".

PS: I been to 26 Hatchet shows since 1978!
