This is for the Stepside guys. I did this right before I sold the bed and never really finished it.

![]() Halogen headlights in classic cars/trucks struggle with dim and scattered light beams. The Dapper Lighting headlight kits embody the classic look while substantially upgrading the quality and spread of light. The unique hi-low switch design keeps the costs low while providing a clean and safe light cutoff design, eliminating the issue of "headlight dazing" on the roads. You get 7" round waterproof headlights and specially-designed 42mm Bi-Xenon projector (high and low beams) with adjustable light focus and flat light distribution to prevent blinding of oncoming traffic. ![]() Dapper Lighting 7 Inch Classic Projector Kit ![]() Dapper Lighting 7 Inch Classic Black Series Projector Kit ![]() http://www.dapperlighting.com/ ![]() ![]() ![]()

I know I am only a few years late on answering this but, this shows how much I looked at this thread.
I used 1 7/8 U bend exhaust tube. Cut to fit.

Here's what I did with the running boards and the outside of the bed. The bed is from a 73, on my 65. I'll run the exhaust under the running board.

Re: (( 1960-1966 Chevy/GMC Pickup Truck Restoration/Modification/Customization Ideas
Any more info on this truck? Is there a thread somewhere or any more pics? I've been trying to figure out a hood mod like that for a while.
Thanks!

The common name is POP LOCKS or DOOR POPPERS. You have manual amd electric versions. You see it mostly on shaved door handles. I actually will be adding this feature to my truck. Maybe electric due to the manual versions are easy targets for theft. On the manual you would use a hidden button (mostly located under the door). Why does 1Bad62Pro/Street like Pro/Streets???? Hmmmmm Oh yes.....and the push start ignition thats in the link above:StarDrive Push Button Start http://www.auto-hub.com/stardrive_pu..._ignition.html That has been around along time! Poor mans version: Just turn the key and push the button! ![]() Crank the volume up!!!!!!!!!

my thoughts are to use this for the locks and the start. and use the product below for the buttons. ie. door handles, wipers, engine on/off. im not sur how it will work. with the buttons being so close, but it shouldent be to much of a problem. but they cant be under metal. i will have to choose the location very carefully. also i will keep a manual back up ignition (just incase) that will be hidden in the center councle. and door cable hidden some where. http://www.lafranceautoworks.com/ Last edited by cslinder01; 08-19-2010 at 03:47 PM. |
