Low69_C10 · 09-15-2011, 12:26 PM

sweet. those would be the pefect touch to a bedside.

big_al_71 · 09-15-2011, 12:40 PM

Very nice....

extd56 · 09-15-2011, 01:11 PM

They do look good but wished you could use a light in them, they are set up for a reflector only.

hayhauler71 · 09-15-2011, 01:59 PM

Nice price for a lottery winner

*RUSHNBOBO* · 09-15-2011, 02:12 PM

those are freakin awesome, but not 200 dollars awesome....I gotta pay bills and sh**, so for now I'll stick with my 20 dollar a pair "van style" upgrade.

Nice find. I see they even have the tailight and reverse lenses for my fleetside, but 240 for the pair seems steep to me.

big mike71 · 09-15-2011, 04:48 PM

Is that price apiece or for the set.

You know what, I just copied this from the site...and it does actually say "set of four" ....that makes it almost affordable now !!!! 50 bucks a piece for true polished billet cnc product ... isn't all that unreasonable.

I might give em a call and see if they will do the front ambers for 100 bucks...you gotta admit they are bitc***.

"Machined from solid 6061-T6 billet aluminum.
Hand polished to a show finish. 100% bolt in. (Set of 4)"

If they weren't just reflector I would buy them, why can't you use a lite in them?

Daddy like....

68Stepbed · 09-16-2011, 08:15 AM

I like them alot, and it personally doesn't matter to me if there's no lights in them. Originally, most trucks only had reflectors anyway. It wasn't until late 69 or early 70 that they started putting lights in them. What would be really cool is to somehow mount a flat LED panel to the inside for lights.

As much as I like them, though, I'm not sure they would really fit the "restomod" theme of my truck. They would sure look awsome on some of the trick custom trucks some guys have.

Also, when I first saw the price I was like

then I saw that it was for a set of four, then I wasn't so shocked and realized that really wasn't that pricey for a custom billet item.

jeffg1010 · 09-16-2011, 08:46 AM

I think the marker lights give mine the truck some of it's character at night. Besides, since mine doesn't "buzz" when I forget to turn my lights off, I always step out and notice my marker lights are on. These reflectors would probably cause me to get stranded.

I would be interested if they had lights.... or better yet, LED's.

**jaros44sr** · 09-16-2011, 03:16 PM

Just bought one! Want to see if I can modify the bulb holder/lense to accept the billet bezel......

LEDs would be a nice option!

A69C10 · 09-16-2011, 04:17 PM

The only problem I see is that there are no amber for the front. I know some states that generate revenue by giving you a ticket for incorrect colors. Just my .02

Sweet! Be sure to let us know how the fit and finish are.

**jaros44sr** · 09-30-2011, 01:39 PM

69sixpackbee · 09-30-2011, 02:04 PM

That's a lot of coin for just some showy reflectors.

**jaros44sr** · 09-30-2011, 02:28 PM

Ive never seen an armored truck at the end of a funeral procession, so I cant take it with me..

But, I do plan to put side maker lights in them

Some hobbies are not cheap

*RUSHNBOBO* · 09-30-2011, 02:37 PM

The reflectors look very dark ....is it just the angle of the camera ?

sdailey · 09-30-2011, 02:48 PM

That looks good Jim.

Care to share how you modified the lense?

*RUSHNBOBO* · 09-30-2011, 03:08 PM

Are the screw holes countersunk ?....or are they cut for panhead screws ?

Im having data conectivity problems right now, not under a satalite! So, I cant download more pics

Could be the pic, but they are a dark red

Shannon, just took the factory side maker apart and Im using the bulbhlder/backing plate for the single bulb
It really lends itself to a 6 bulb LED set up, 3 top and 3bottom, but I will have to build that set up
Wifey said "cant you just bolt them in as they are for once"

More pics to follow
