Welcome. Damn that's a nice truck. Good luck with the tinkering.

 

Thank you.

 

How was it mounting the mercedes lights?

 

i wish i could find one of these trucks down here in Arkansas, that isnt a rust bucket lol. Welcome, from the boonies.

 

Thanks fellas.

Jetas: mounting the lights was very easy. I only used the seals bean its self I didn't use the Benz bracket. It's js like replacing one of our sealed headlights. But u do have to knock of one metal clip on the back on the Benz headlight so it can slide in the 3 groves our brackets have that was the only mod.

Myles66: mine does have a lot of surface rust in bed engine bay can and chasi. One ruff spot on the cans floor pan.

 

I was thinking about tinting my high beams yellow but this seems like an easier solution if i can find the light. What year and model did they come off of?

 

Not sure of the model but it was an 84 Benzo diesel I belive. Got mine at my local hard for a steal.

 

Yard. Lol

 

nice car, where did you get the door seals?

 

Daruna: thank u. Belive it or not I got them of a 82 pickup in very good shape. Mine where so cracked that once I was taking them if they fell apart in peaces. I had the trim the ends a little but they work just fine.
