Leave it to OI to find the good stuff. Your truck could not be in better hands.

Here's what the clearance lights are gonna look like when I install them.
You can tell me how far apart you want them.

 

[peabody]

Hummm ???
Let's see how it looks, with the two outer lights set closer to the cab edges. ..

[peabody]

Dog gone it...
Hard to say... but further apart might look better.
Then again Jim..
You have a good eye for these things..I'll let you make the final decision.

 

[soltz]

Ya wider [S

Where are those headlights [S

 

[dutch]

I wouldn`t use them at all, but if I did ,I`d use the rear window width for size ( pretty much as they are now,) and add a couple further out

What type of look/theme are you going for with the clearance lights? That might help determine their placement.

Personally I wouldn't use them as I think it will look a lot cleaner without them, but it's not my truck, and if you're going to use them I would just make sure they help with the look you're wanting.

 

[Old Iron]

I'll set them further apart today and post a pic.
This is Peabody's little truck and his decision what we use.
I'm not actually working on the truck yet just getting a feel for what we are going to do, that's why the headlights are not mounted.

 

[peabody]

Thanks for the inputs guys,
The look I'm going for..
That's a good question...
I have driven semi's my whole life..
So a little trucker stuff is suitable i guess, for me.
But old iron has the final say.
At first i wanted stacks and stuff like that .
But now.. i think little subtle details would be better.
I love the stance, to me it looks great as is..
With no chop.
I think old iron has a visual in his mind.

 

[peabody]

Heck.. i just like it alot.[P

 

[Old Iron]
