Re: bumper foglights

Thanks guy's. I did the lights back before any vendor's sold the bumpers with the cutouts. I had a friend @ work do them. I had him do the bumper bolts as well. I had it done back in mid 90's. Just had the tag area done 2 years ago Thanksgiving on the last paint job.

Not photoshopped - well except for the license plate. I put a 71/72 bumper on my 4x4. The fog lights came off the shelf at Wal*Mart. I wish I could find a set of lights that fit the hole better but it works for now.

Why does everybody blur or change their license plate? Is it a black helicopter thing?

Re: bumper foglights

Oh and I control them through a relay from a switch in the cab under my ignition switch. The top switch turns on my back-up lights (which also turns off my surge brakes on my bass boat so I can back up the boat trailer). Bottom one is for the fog lights.

The aftermarket fuel gauge is attached to my saddle tank. A previous owner - maybe the orginal owner - had one installed but never put a gauge in it. The guy I bought it from said all you do is run it until the truck bucks (tank empty) then switch over to the other one. That way you always know you either have some or none in the tank. I preferred to know a little bit more about the supply in there so I orderd a generic gauge and sender from JC Whitney and installed them.

And don't worry. This truck gets used for what the general intended it to be used for. Right now the fog lights are disconnected. That switched relay now runs my plow lights. Since I only use it in my driveway I don't hook up any of the other lights for the plow. Just the headlights.

That's what I figured, but couldn't tell from the picture. Your close up shows it great.
I was afraid He would post a pic with his arm out the window.
