What truck?

*dtlilly* · 10-25-2003, 01:25 AM

lol, all I can remember seeing a truck (I guess), was an engine and interior shot

lol.... maybe the hood not being alligned perfectly gives him a reason for him to drive it on the street..... If it was perfect I don't know if I could let it leave the garage.

BUXMAN66 · 10-25-2003, 02:42 AM

what kind of headlight's are those? i've heard b-4 that the problem w/ those tri-bar style lights is that the depth of them will not go into the headlight bucket holder......also will the original factory wiring withstand the extra juice thats required to run them,....w/out burning up the wiring??

68racer · 10-25-2003, 03:39 AM

There's a lot of plastic in there...

67cst · 10-25-2003, 06:00 AM

Dinnut, I'm sure a small amount of pressure @ the back of the hood/hood hinge area would align the panels just fine. Sometimes when you replace parts the new stuff doesn't work perfect either.

The truck is bad a$$. I'm not a fan of mis-matched wheel openings myself, but if the truck looks good..... the truck looks good.

The headlights are Tri Bars from a company in Arizona, Sorry I can't remember the name !! And you'd think I would because the salesman lied to me when I bought them, ( it could be Street Beat customs) I talked to a kid named "Jason" he told me I had a choice of two different wattages, Then when I got the headlights, There was no bulbs included in the cost of the units. I sent him a copy of his email, and I never heard from him again. I called his boss and sent his boss a copy of his email saying the bulbs were included, I never heard from him again either. Needless to say, I will not buy anything from them again !!

They use a standard H-4 Halogen bulb. H-4s come in many different wattages of high-low combinations. They fit in just like the original headlights. I run a seperate relay to the low and the high beam side of the headlights, With the power wire coming straight from the alternator. Doing that, enables a true voltage to the headlights without a voltage drop. I did a "How To" for this last year.

There is someone else here using these lights also, I "think" it's Shane, or Insane.
