Popular Post wyodog Posted October 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2014 I haven't posted a update on my B in quite awhile. I am in the home strech of getting her completed. At this point she is road legal, and have taken her on a couple round the block trips to shake things out. I just got the flatbed mounted on the truck. I still need to paint it, and I have new tool boxes I am going to install. Thought I would post a couple of pics.I do have a question for everyone. Like most people I am looking for a set of interior dome/map lights. Has anyone found a good replacement for the lights? I've called around and just haven't found a good replacement for these lights.Thanks!Josh 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37277-just-a-quick-b-update/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Looks good!I haven't seen a direct replacement for the B lights. Used out of a donor truck probably at this point.

wyodog Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Thanks, I have had three B's and all have the map/dome light removed. I have found a couple of lights that look like license plate lights that almost fit, but just look a bit too out of place for what what I am trying to do. Watt's suggested I visit a boat shop, they might have lights that would maybe be a better match.

d427 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Keep your eyes open on ebay. I had one original still in my truck and bought the other on ebay. Was 25 bucks I think.

Red Horse Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 "King of Salvage" Good source. Not a lot of stock but I've bought from him before with good luck. Always worth checking to see what chuck has. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37277-just-a-quick-b-update/#findComment-263154 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wyodog Posted November 24, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hello everyone. Sorry for the delay in responding. This last weekend I got the headliner installed and thought I would share a couple of pics. Got the lights, switches installed... Looking good if I do say so myself.. :-) 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37277-just-a-quick-b-update/#findComment-268053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 NIce headliner. Is that a new repop or a custom piece? I need one really bad. My original one is really starting to fall apart at the seams., literally. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

wyodog Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 felicello122 - Thanks! These seats came out of a mid 90's GMC Yukon. They worked great cause they have the seat belt built into them. They are a powered seat but I am not going to wire them. For them to fit they need to be all the way back pressed up against the cab. But they fit pretty well.Freightrain - I ended up ordering the headliner through Watts. Wasn't excited about the price, and after over-sized shipping cost. It's a cardboard based headliner. When I tried to installed it, I was messing it up. I have the sleeper on my truck, so the headliner needed to be trimed. Found a local guy who did a good job for a good price and fixed my goof up and got the rest installed. Wish I could take credit for the headliner but interior is just not my thing. While it did come out nice, and I am happy with it. If I have to replace it down the road, I will find someone local who can make one.

thomastractorsvc Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Looks good, my dome lights switch on one side was broke the other missing, I ended up putting a toggle on the dash.

Freightrain Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 My bunk cut out is around the top the rear window, so even a repop headliner would fit okay in that area. I had a local shop do the crawl through stitchwork and I installed it. I had thoughts of taking just the headliner, but it is so out of shape if he copied it likely it would not fit. I need to take the whole truck, but that is an expense I am not ready to put out yet.I want to make door panels too. Nothing fancy, just some simple diamond stitching maybe. Then snap it on. Again, someday. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
