Ryoken's 89 Crew Cab Tubebed build... aka Mutt....

The guy that had the NOS lights didn't have any more...said he was sold out.
 
ok, thanks for the effort! :D


I think I'm gonna paint my drip rails satin black.... chrome = not Muttly
 
lights are ordered... being I only see the lenses in NOS, I decided to just order the complete ones from LMC... if I don't like the lenses, I'll order 5 of the NOS ones.... but the bases are so weather hammered, I really need whole new ones... hope they aren't POS's...
Hope they are good so many of the parts I get from them weren't good quality
 
<Hannibal Smith> I love it when a plan comes together! </Hannibal Smith> Always cool to see a vision in your head become reality. Lookin good.
 
Just make sure it will fit. That'll be a little longer than most normal 193's.
 
yeah, some of them are huge.. :haha: the spec's say this one is 1 1/4" high... I think the lenses are 2" high..


but I wont buy them till the lights are installed and working.. so I can see firsthand the space there is... they also recommend the same color as the lens...
 
boy, if Mutt didn't see so much weather, I think I'd mig the drip rail holes and ditch em.....

but alas, I think I'll just do Ryoken Red on the screw down part, and redo the chrome in satin black.....

Mine need paint bad. Is there a reason you want to accent in black? Mine are body color, and blend pretty well.
 
I shaved the drip rails on my last C10 and it was a HUGE mistake for a daily driver...


yeah, I've done it on a few hotrods in the past.. ok, for a weekend car show kinda deal, DD, not so much...

eh, I'm considering doing them red.. but I don't want it to look like just a "bad paint job" deal....

what I'm thinking of doing is douching them totally in red, and seeing how they look....

if I think I want the black, I can just mask off the chrome section and overcoat it...

being I've got black kicking around with the tubebed, mirrors and eventually door handles, I thought it might look good... than again, it may look retardo too.... :doah: :haha:
 
Makes sense. Just wanted to make sure you realized that some factory ones came body color, so it probably wouldn't look like a hack job. Keep up the good work!
 
hmmmmmm, that will certainly make things easier... throw em in the blast cab, douche em in RR....
