Re: Weird leak

What about the EFABMAN person that has his own website and he is somewhere in NC and he has or had the how to videos. Since someone said my lights are called grandpa lights that are on my truck cab is that bad or good that they are called grandpa lights?

Also does the bodyshops do that kind of work like restore it?????

Re: Weird leak

They are called Grandpa lights because the first pickup enthusiasts used big truck accessories to customize their trucks and that was a long time ago.So,those guys are old.They are "real truck" lights,too.If they came on the truck,they belong there.
Yes,you can find a shop to fix that.Many are scared to get into rust repair.They feel they can descide for you what is worth it and what isn`t.Don`t use anyone who acts hesitant at all.Go with a "Sure,no problem" and you`ll be better off.Tell them you realize you can swap the cab but you`re not looking to go that far right now.It`s your driver.
