What ya' think of these foggies? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chakah · 06-17-2013, 09:07 PM

I scored these old school foggies at a auto Swap meet. They are Aris brand and scored for a cool 20 bucks (sometimes you gotta wait till they're loading up for the day). I did some research on Aris and come to find they made custom headlights for vintage choppers. I was really looking for round foggies, but I think round would look better on an older truck.
So I took these apart and cleaned em up. I also made some L shaped brackets to bolt on the frame.
I guess I'm not used to the now look, but now the question is, "what ya' think?"

They look fantastic. So do the wheels and the combo of chrome and patina.

**MisterC** · 06-18-2013, 11:31 AM

I think they look PERFECT! Great score!

ChefCy · 06-18-2013, 11:42 AM

Looks great! If you notice the top of the lights with the forward visor over them mimics the roof of the truck!

Great score, but I'm going against the tide on this one - I love your truck, but they look a bit too seventies for my liking

Round ones would fit your overall style much better

**Corts60** · 06-19-2013, 09:22 AM

Looks awesome brother

I was thinking the same but what caught me was the chrome housing. I'm still gonna hunt for some round ones, see how they look. Thanks for your honesty UK, it's what I'm looking for.
