Nice pics... looking forward to the rest.

I do ask though that you please keep your pics in one thread and simply reply to it to add more pics instead of creating a new thread every time. It keeps the board uncluttered, and makes the project pics easier to follow.

If you have a lot of pics, I suggest you create a Photobucket account, it's completely free and makes posting pics a lot easier without size restrictions and whatnot.

Thanks.

Right now just trying to get it road worthy.Got a little out of hand when I started cleaning the engine.Started slapping parts I had laying around.You know how it is one thing leads to another.But seriously I needed a ride because well I got my oldest in college and he's taking my daily driver and I needed something to get to work and back.And well lets face it Obama Motors Corporation will never build them like this anymore and I wasn't about to spend a years wages on a new vehicle.

low79fx 11-27-2009 10:20 PM

Re: More This is my 65GMC pics
 
This is where I got mine from.Now you will have to modify capsule buckets and bucket mounts,also lamp capsule rings were not quite big enough to go over lights to mount onto buckets.

I like. The blue is a little on the ricey side but still better than before. Did they have non colored setups? Did they come with that backing plate?

I got my wiring kit from a guy on ebay.It is an American Autowire Classic Update.I like it it is really pretty straight forward.The kit is tailored to to installed as stock but is built for future upgrades as you can see.This particular kit is specific for these trucks.But you can go to American Autowire website tosee for yourself.Heres the link where I got mine,this guy on ebay sells them for about $100 bucks less than everybody else that carries them.

Whoa - those headlights look wicked. Too modern for the style of my setup but I'll bet they work a lot better than the old sealed beams. They would look great with some PIAA 510 Ion fog lamps I use to run. From the sides they appeared to be bright blue, directly in front they were radiation yellow. Sliced through fog like daylight, but looked too modern so I put them on my late model daily driver.

Re: More This is my 65GMC pics
 
yeah i agree on the lights
thats what i want to do with mine

Re: More This is my 65GMC pics
 
Love those lights if the trim rings don't fit how did you hold the lights in?

low79fx 12-09-2009 11:24 PM

Re: More This is my 65GMC pics
 
I used the stock rings but had to enlarge the i.d. to slip over lamp.I will have to warn you do not let it get away from you as it will bend the hell out of them and beat the crap out of your hands to say the least.But yeah the rings are in place to hold lights in place.

Re: More This is my 65GMC pics
 
I went with the same air gap intake that you have. The reason i did was so i could run the wire through the gap and it made the eng bay look alot cleaner.
I would post you a pic but im in afganistan and my truck is in pooler GA. lol Just some food for thought if you wanted to hide some of that wireing.

Was wonderin I'd like to get a pair of them for my 67 c10, would i have to change the wiring harness or something to use them or could i just use the original harness/wiring, also is there a code or name for these lights to ask for in the site u got them from? thanks for the help ur truck is looking great

low79fx 08-03-2010 08:19 PM

Re: More This is my 65GMC pics
 
The ones I used were for 5 3/4" dia. headlights since GMC have the duals,the ones you will need are the 7" dia. being a Chevy with singles.As per the wiring I did not upgrade anything other than rewire the whole truck.I was in the process of installing a rewiring kit when it came to doing the headlights I went ahead and upgraded to these Halos.I am including this link should take you directly to the 7" dia. halos on the sight. If it doesn't work just use the link on my original post and search 7" halos on the sight search option. Hope this helps.
