What kind of mirrors are you looking for for Mutt?

 

[82355]

I also have a 1980 GMC Jimmy in the trees. It should have that style of steering wheel. Let me look when I get a chance.

none at the moment.. i got rid of the big trailer ones for ss stockers.. that are painted black.. i get a few yrs out of em before i gotta touch em up.. i think lmc has black aftermarkets, but that's WAY down my priority list...

So I went out to the 1980 GMC Jimmy and found this.

Dug around in the console, and came across this. Alas it is cracked. You can still have it if you want.

This one is in a Suburban.

The horn button was also in the console. Apparently everyone I buy these from is ashamed of their GMC.

This one is hanging on the wall in my milk barn.

Martin

 

[ryoken]

Have you checked these out from Summit? These are the lights I decided to go with.

[ryoken]

I'd like to see how they look lit, and unlit.. not sure how i feel about the smoke.. and how it would fit in on Mutt.. tho i do like LED stuff... might be cool cuz of all the black i have going on..

 

[K5-CJ5]

I saw some on a truck that were the smoked and amber when lit. I thought they looked nice, when lit they look the same as a stock set but brighter.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

I ran these, and loved them....

Clearly written, english only instructions!

These are nice....

Idiot-proof instructions and drilling templates!

What about this 4 jaw chuck from Grizzly?

oops....that's probably for wood

 

[Jester1]

That one is but if you type in metal chucks to the search bar there are 100+ of them. I like the 6 jaw suckers but the cost a little more. Had a few for less than a hundy, and a few under 2. could get a smaller three jaw just to spin metal and play with it?

 

[ryoken]

i'm all over em..

 

[ryoken]

wrong thread anyway!
