Who likes cab lights??

[Down south truckin]

I've been considering adding cab lights to my latest project,and just wanted to know what everbody thinks about them?? I know the cab doesn't have the raised area but I've seen several that had the lights without the raised area,how do you think that looks?? thanks in advance Mike

I have a NOS set I purchased from a board member that are going to go on my 71 K-20. So put me down for the I like em group.

also please feel free to post pictures of trucks with them thanks Mike

[dieselarmy13]

Please don't go drillin' into that beauty!

you've come this far with it might as well put as many lights on there that you can for everyone to see ya comin and see ya goin, since you got the lift how about kc lights on bumper and roll bar?

[67cst]

they would look good on your truck. but it depends on what they go on. obviously my 67 shortie 2wd would look goofy

[Sammy]

Notta thing wrong with a big truck, lift, with some cab lights like the big trucks.

[pmpski_1]

I like em.

[72lb4x4]

I used to like them more. Now, if it comes with them, fine, but there's no way I'd cut holes for rain to get in, or rust to start.

That's a nice truck!

I think 71-72 didn't have the raised metal areas in the roof for the clearance lights. Mine doesn't but its a truck with many fathers...

i love cab lights!! i do beleive they have to be on the right truck though, and the right style lights. i have TSC ones on the K20, and a set of factory ones for my 79 and 89.. i dont really know what type are on the wrecker, im guessing factory

i think your truck would look great with them, by the way

[dieselarmy13]

Some nice trucks Blue 71. Esp. that wrecker!

[Longhorn Man]

i like them. Also, 71/72 WOULD have had the raised pad.

I think they look right at home on a K/20.They enhance their proud bold good looks.It`s a truck thing,like real mirrors.I love the look of sport mirrors(I call`em car mirrors),but they don`t belong on a K/20.I tell you what,I`ve run them on most of my K/20-30s and have noticed that people tend to not yank out in front of you at night.It makes them think twice about jumping out in front of a big rig.By the time they know it`s just a pickup it`s too late to pull out.I bought a cab light cab to use on one of my K/20s when I restored one.Now,it`s down to that going on my shortbed 4wd project.In a way I don`t think that`ll look right.But,I am building it into a K/30.So,I guess it`ll look alright.I just wanted it to be a short Stepside 4wd that`s built tough underneath,not a sawed-off K/20 or 30.I`m picky about details like that.
I think they`re a nice touch on a K/20.

I agree that they look good on a K20. 2wd trucks should not have them as they would look goofy as mentioned above.

They look good and everyone can see youat night. Safe and cool.

[72BlckButy]

I'm on the fence... some trucks look good with them, and some don't. I'd just hate to see you drill into that cab!

Be sure to post pics after you decide.

[special-K]

They look absolutely the best on deluxe 2-tone K/20s,IMO.Oh...that`s exactly what you have.Whadaya know?
Maybe you could get a photoshopper to hook you up.Maybe they could even put the mouldings and hubcaps on.Is that possible?

[71blksuper4x4]

Since you would be drilling holes.... have you ever considered the new dually looking cab lights.... LMC has a set to fit the truck and look current with the 2 outside cab lights and the middle big one?? I just hate to see you add original ones on there if you don't have the correct dimples.... they would look out of place and probably not seal good. I like it the way it is, but I also like the new current style for something different yet look really good as well. I don't like how most of the aftermarket tear shaped clearance lights look with the big bulky chrome on it. They don't need to take away from the truck. My 2 cents Trevor

[Yukon Jack]

My buddy's converted 1 ton 4wd has them and I like them. Here are a few pics of this truck.

[jorgensensc]

The fact is they look awesome on certain trucks. I specifivally want a one ton just so I can have cab lights. Is that retarded or what. They look awesome on duallies, but They look good on this one ton even w/out dually's. Both of these are for sale by board members.

I like them on the right thing. Like a bagged C10... Just kidding. I do like them and your truck is very nice. Looks great with those tires.

[erikrcks]

If your worried about rust from the holes of drilling them in; I've heard (havent done this) if you put a small amount of clear fingernail polish around the holes that it seals the area where rust may start, just like paint.

[SacramentoJoe]

I have never really liked them, but Special-K has some good points. I think they look good on that tow-truck, though.

[68,69 K20]

I like em, like em better on 4wd's rather than 2wd's. My stepfather has a 71 K10 with factory lights and it looks awesome!!

I agree have seen this done on motorcycles and no rust, they used clear nail polish.

I think it would look good with the cab lights!
