spot lights?
I have seen spot lights on several trucks and was wondering if this was a option from GM or were they after market? If they are after market does someone know where to get them? Thanks Rick

Re: spot lights?
If your local auto supply can't get you a spotlight, I'd try a truck supply store; 1 that deals in big rig parts.

Re: spot lights?
Hey Rick- Congrats on selling the short bed you had for sale! I believe these spotlights were a factory option...you can ask "Chipflyer" (Jeff) on here. He makes the SPID labels, and pretty much knows all of the original factory option codes.

Re: spot lights?
Unity is the company that made them for G.M.

Re: spot lights?
I just installed a Unity S-6 spotlight on my truck not too long ago. The spotlight was a factory option that was listed in the "optional equipment" catalog/pamphlet.
John was right. Unity still produces replacement parts for these spotlights as well as the mounting kits. Classic Bowties (a member here on the board) has compiled a great mounting instruction/drill bushing package that he's selling for $15. I'll post a pic of my setup, mounted on my rig, when I get back into town.

Re: spot lights?
not a factory option... not that I have ever seen listed.
It was however, an over the counter accesory... or dealer add on. |

Re: spot lights?
I was thinking it was dealer add on also. They come up for sale here on the board fairly often. I have a pair Ill be putting on my K20 one of these days. I bought the instruction kit from Classic Bowties...its a very good deal.

Re: spot lights?
I run an original dealer option on my GMC, she's dented and has some character but looks good despite how nice the rest of the truck is.
I have a unity catalog around here somewhere as a PDF for replacement parts and new assemblies.

Re: spot lights?
I agree with those that say its a dealer add on, never seen an RPO code for it.

Re: spot lights?
If you're talkin about spots like the cops use,,the one's that you can aim,ya might want to look at mounting instructions ,first. I put one on an old plow truck that I had some time back . I had to really butcher(drill a large hole) in the windshield post. Then you have the handle in your way all the time.I would never do it again.
If you're going for looks,,just mount dummie spots.-KB |
