I see you are using a Hagen frenched headlight kit with headlights with LED parking light/turn signal built in. Check out that when the head light is installed that the chrome trim ring doesn't cover over the LED light.

The reason that I mention it is that I have a similar set up except my headlights have a larger LED light. When I saw the ones like you have I thought that the ring might cover over the LED completely.

Hello youngrodder..

Thanks for the info, I did'nt check it if it wil fit..
I will do it soon.. I can not send it back now anymore..I orderd it by
Someone else, and they send it to Holland..
If the crome ring wil cover the parking lights, the only thing I can
Do is, not connect the parking lights, and leave it how it is..

I like your truck very much. What did you do with your suspension on the
Back of your truck,? I like the stance a lot on your truck...

YahamaR1..

I got lucky with my lights as I bought them years prior to installing them and never thought about the LED lights. some of my LED's are covered but a majority of them still shows. Just trying to save you the same fate...

My truck uses a modifed G-body frame (front and rear). Simular to an S-10 in the front but the back is a 4 link. Air bags front and rear with 20" rims all around. Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks
Marc

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

Youngrodder, you where right,, they will cover the parking lights..

Thank you for posting that information. If it looks that good in the pics it must be fantastic to see in person.

Today I started with some test fitting of the fenders, I am very happy with the
Position of the wheels. These are the wheels for the back, they are. 275.35.18"
I will use 255.35.18" in the front, but I did'nt had the tires yet...
