Been following this for a while on another forum. I really love all the custom touches on this one! Curious when this project started?

The 8" head lights are from a FJ Cruiser we made custom buckets that look like factory ones new rear mounts to hold the light in. The LED lights we added for the single & park lights. You can Buy the LED strips on Ebay

Thanks for the info on the headlights. Quick question, did you fabricate your inner fenders or did you buy them and fabricate? If so, where did you purchase them? also how did you fabricate the new light custom buckets?

you inspire me! im working on my 72 C10 i just mounted my fenders and doors this week. please take a look and let me know your thoughts

Hi We have a head light kit coming out for the 67-68 Chevys in the next couple of weeks that will include lights, buckets and mounts. The Buckets are fiberglass so the can be painted or chromed. The inner fenders are fabricate in our shop, the complete build was hand made in house (California Rod & Custom) Langley BC

Your trucks looks good keep up the work on it i am glad we have inspired you to work on it

Thanks Harold

thanks for the reply!
so ball park January you will have some in stock? how much are you thinking?
would you be willing to just sell the light tubs and brackets? i have FJ lights already. I'm definitely interested. on the LED lights are they seperet stip or on your set up are they mounted in the lights them self? and can you get them in with bright white?

once again great build!!!

Parts look great, especially that rearend. Just curious, what is the reason for running such a long stud? Is there gonna be wheel spacer on there?
