Re: Cool 67 short wide "shop truck" on ebay!

yeah....those aren't quite as nice looking as the yankee lights that came off my dad's 72 burb (and are going on mine) but they sure look good at night going down the road, especially with a trailer hitched up. i like the big rig feel......these are trucks, not sport cars. i wouldn't stick cab lights on the roof just for the sake of having them....but if it had a nice set already, i wouldn't shave them.

in my particular case, my burb will be hauling the families 71 holiday around and so the lights will bring back a connection of my childhood in the 80's when my dad used his 72 to haul around that same camper....25 years and still going! i wouldn't normally even think to put them on this style truck (it is more like a sport truck in proportion and style), but they are cool in that they are original and it is different and unexpected and they are already on the truck. be interesting to see that little rig pulling a company trailer behind it....all decked out with running lights.....
