jakebrake86 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Lookin' good! I've been wanting to change my cab lights over to LED.. was it a SOB to get those old rusted screws out of the roof? I've never had very good luck with them.. Pretty much why I've been putting my little project off. Quote Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Everything is nice and even side to side but the exhaust now and cb antenna now, that can be the next two projects, try a Wilson 2000 antenna bout the best you can get in my book. I still have to get started on my cab lights and turn signals, they're in the garage waiting, wanna come help?

leversole Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Thanks all...my light housing were peeling like a platoon on KP! Replaced the whole assembly, except for the center short one, wasnt too bad and is mostly hidden...Pipe next! Anyone have a left side exhaust bracket?I Love LED's too! Wait till I get a trailer, it will have lights every four feet! I go up to the truck stop and park, listening to the radio, watching 'em park, and looking at all the different ways truckers light thier trucks...I guess I am not right in the head also!

Freightrain Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I like my dual stacks. But, there again, I like a plain stock truck with one pipe too. Kinda two sided I guess.Since B's didn't come with two, I had my buddy bend up a mirror set of passenger side brackets to use on the left side. Makes it look like the factory put them there. Not the half assed way some do it. I did have to put another short passenger side tank on to allow for the stack though. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

RSD501 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I like the lights under the headlight. Where did you get those from?? And you can't go wrong with shiny red paint, that truck looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAD DOG Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I want to put LEDs on my cab lights. Almost bout some down at MATS last month but I wasn't 100% sure if they were the right size and I didn't measure stock ones before I went. Had them for $25 ea. What did you do with the short light in the center? Can you buy one in LED or just transplant the light into a stock holder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leversole Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 That's what I did, swapped the light to old center one...but Santa put a new chrome center housing in the mail for me the other day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Leslie you probably put more miles on those two trucks playing than I do on my work truck. I definitely don't drive the Superliner that much, its more like once or twice a month. 1 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Good thing about being a contractor overseas is you only do your job, no b.s. punishment duty. Well the more i think about it I guess night ops at camp Anaconda could be considered a punishment.
