    Cab/Marker Lights

    Any more info on the kits and template? I have purchased the lights and plan to install them soon. a factory add on install sheet would be great if I could find one. I already have the senior west coast mirrors, the lights will complete the look.

    I was not lucky enough to get a set of the stock chevy mirrors. I had looked for a few years for a decent set with no luck, so I ended up going with some I found at mill supply.

    M1008 west coast mirror
