i have a 71 K-10 and would like a couple lights on it besides the stock headlights, for off road use, and country driving. i was thinking somwhere by the bumper, because i dont want to do a rollbar, but there really isnt a great place for light on these thing

anyone have pics of a setup that may work good for me?

Theres not a lot of room, so you might have to make a bracket that uses the bumper bolts.

I made some brackets and mounted two 100 watt lights behind the grill of my 72 for backroad use. You can barely see them because they are behind the grill and WOW!!! does it light up the road at night!

You could always use it as an oppertunity to make a custom bumper with built in lites if their doesn't seem to be the room to mount extra lites...Just A Thought...
