Got my grill ready - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Had my 63' grill blasted, painted then installed Autoloc headlights with built in turn signals. Had to cut out some areas of the headlight buckets for these lights.but other than that they fit fine. Going to wire everything up today, see how well they light up.

Very nice! And what are your plans for the hood turn signals?
Great idea for running no hood on the truck.

brawley · 12-04-2011, 10:35 AM

Im putting a GMC hood on and filled in the turn signal holes see pic.

Looks good, nice touch to it all.

onequickchevy · 12-04-2011, 11:21 AM

Very cool mod, like the shaved look on the hood.

koda360 · 12-04-2011, 11:34 AM

Grille looks great! Those H/Ls are pretty trick too. Do you wanna sell the GMC turn signal parts? I'd like to put 'em in my Chevy hood.

duallyjams · 12-04-2011, 12:15 PM

Can't what to see it installed.

'63GENIII · 12-04-2011, 12:29 PM

Beautiful looking grill there! Are those Autolocs HID or? Would really like to see the pattern and get feedback on how bright they are. Cool stuff right there.

brawley · 12-04-2011, 07:20 PM

finally got everything hooked up, the lights are called "snakeyes" by autoloc, they use regular H4 bulbs. they seem pretty bright -hard to tell in the pics. I havent drove around yet with them - got a flat tire...next project

brawley · 12-04-2011, 07:24 PM

I will sale the GMC turn signal assemblys, but I dont think they will fit in a chevy hood without some modifications...

AZ66GMC · 12-04-2011, 08:01 PM

Looks awesome.

I really like the color combo

Yep, gonna cut the chevy hood to accept them. I wanna put them on opposite sides so they look like angry eyebrows... I need everything buckets, bezels, lenses, ect.

boat · 12-04-2011, 10:21 PM

looks great cool blue man

**Captainfab** · 12-05-2011, 01:51 AM

That looks great....shaved hood and the grill. I too would like to see the whole truck and also what the light pattern is like.

krazy_texan · 12-05-2011, 02:19 AM

cool idea i really like the lights but im not sure if i like the look of the filled holes in the hood but thats just me

FreakyMalo · 12-05-2011, 04:27 AM

That looks sweet! I'm doing the same thing with the hood for my '66 sub; a '63 GMC with filled signals. I'm using the '66 grille; might cut out the mesh and put the signals in there.. not sure yet, too many other things to do first.

koda360- just a heads-up.. The GMC lights snap into the holes with tabs. There are no screws/bolts holding them in so you'll have to figure out some way to secure them. Should look cool inverted, though.

1963c-10 · 12-05-2011, 10:02 AM

Thats pretty trick, like the filled hood also

**ChiefRocka** · 12-05-2011, 10:06 AM

The lines of that hood looks really good ... Nice job !

HL are cool !!

brawley · 12-08-2011, 08:48 PM

heres the pics of the truck, still have some finishing touches to do.. I tried to take pics. with the lights on but they dont come out well...they are not as bright as HID but definatly brighter than stock

duallyjams · 12-08-2011, 08:56 PM

The GMC hood with turn signals filled in looks good with 63 grill.
