IF you can get the right mounting bracket that look like this.

Thanks jb.
That is a nice chrome bucket on that light.
The ones I'm looking at are still attached to the car L/R.
They look molded into the body. The buckets are black plastic.
I will see if I can find the bracket.

Any Unity spotlight can be fitted to just about any vehicle, but the newer lamp off a Crown Vic probably won't work on your truck as the length of the shaft may be so long the inside handle will collide with your steering wheel. I believe the correct length is 12" from the pivot point of the head to the pivot point of the handle.

The attached thread may prove helpful for further details:

You can use bracket #31 from Unity as it is still suggested by Unity. You need a tapered rubber gasket to get the correct angle.
