caddy vs. 3d - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Rollinsqrbdy · 03-07-2009, 01:06 AM

Got a problem peeps. I got a set of chrome 3d tailights and a set of caddy lights with the buckets. I dont know wich one i want. The 3d's costed me bout $80 and the caddy's with the buckets were free. Its amazing what a drunk will give u for a sixer. anyways what would u pick? Future plans are 22" and a mild drop, and I already got the cowl hood.

I vote on the euro style lights since you don't have to hack the bed and can always go back to stock. I really like the stock tail light though.

i don't think euro lights belong on a square body.

caddy it up, keep it GM.... and make that sh*t your own!

dooce · 03-07-2009, 05:14 AM

Where is the option for stock ones?

bigblock73 · 03-07-2009, 10:19 AM

There is no choice for neither?? That would get my vote.

The euros are better than the caddys. The body shape is as wrong as it could be to use the caddy lights unless you make new bezels that fit the squarebody right. they would work better in an 88-up fullsize or a later s-10.

my thought led's look alot better then the euros guess i'm to oldskool lol

I am also not a fan of euro's on our trucks. Just stick out too much.

My vote would be to put the caddy's in a roll pan and fill the stokers. Would give it a custom touch

Rollinsqrbdy · 03-08-2009, 01:42 PM

Well I really dont want to cut into my bed just to put the caddys in but also i really dont like the euro lights. Im stuck and dont know what i want. I think im just gonna stick with some originals or some l.e.d.'s. Just not sure yet. I appreciate everybodys opinion.
