Nice score on the welder!

Can we get a shot of the lights "in" the truck? Being held will be fine too.

go to bing and search for "boat gas filler cap" and you'll find several over on ebay for cheap money, if cheap is what you're after

some of the old Chris Craft ones are pretty cool

i did look at some of the boat ones, and am considering that i want to go the least expensive way without going to "cheap" looking, i might just end up with the $119 speedway one it is the best looking complete set up that i have found for the money

Mike do these lights get wired straight to the harness or is there any modification necessary? other than the pig tails?

Al: Straight in- just match leads. You will have to cut your harness or fab a M/F adapter harness.
