Cab lights on a lowered truck?
Ive seen cab lights on 4x4's and cab lights on stock styled trucks, but I don't think Ive ever seen cab lights on a lowered ride. Im curious if it looks cool, or if it just never belongs on a lowered (shorty or long) truck.
If you have a pic please post it up.

Re: Cab lights on a lowered truck?

Re: Cab lights on a lowered truck?
Haha nice one Tim. I have pics somewhere of a 67 shorty that has cab lights and west coast Jr mirrors, and is lowered. I like them, but like anything to each their own.

Somewhere on here there is a '71 Cheyenne build that has cab lights.

Re: Cab lights on a lowered truck?
My 72 super 2wd had cab lights, first thing I did was cut the roof skin off...I almost didn't buy it because it had the lights. I don't like them on anything other than the big rigs

Re: Cab lights on a lowered truck?
Roof lights on a lowered 2wd. I guess you could call them low clearance lights.
Is that fair dr zeuss?

Re: Cab lights on a lowered truck?
Looks good to me! You gotta keep the rig look though. Cab lights on just a lowered c10 with nothing else wouldn't flow.

Re: Cab lights on a lowered truck?
I love cab lights, just never saw them on a lowered, or custom style truck before. So I was curious.

Re: Cab lights on a lowered truck?
I like cab lights on a dually lowered. They just don't seem to make sense on anything else but a dually but that's just my opinion.

Re: Cab lights on a lowered truck?
Those two trucks look more like they were made for a cartoon character. If a truck looks good with cab lights it will look good lowered with cab lights. I wouldn't want cab lights on a truck I built to look clean, uncluttered, and smooth as possible, same as I wouldn't want bumper guards.

Re: Cab lights on a lowered truck?
Boog's your man for that. Sometimes my laptop even flips mine sideways from how they are in my files.
Those two trucks look fine with the lights. If it was me, I wouldn't put them on and if they were on I'd leave them there. Most people don't like a cap on these trucks. But, C/10 King shows his lowered '67 and people love the look. If that truck had clearance lamps, or that Central Valley GMC, they would have only added to the look. I like a clean look. But clearncae lamps 'can' look great!

Re: Cab lights on a lowered truck?
To me they always look great on a stock truck of any style. Just wondered what they looked like on a slammed or just lowered ... maybe a 4-6 drop.
