Last weekend I went down to my deuce and put on a set of convoy lights. I got a set of the military issue spin lights and the rest of my work was all fab work. Poles were made of 2" x 60" tubing with an 8" disc welded to the top, with this setup being non-adjustable unlike the "stock" setup. I drilled out the center of the disc and ran my wiring down through the center of the pipes to help protect it from the elements. Poles were mounted to the back of the cab via 2" exhaust clamps through the normal mounting holes. Ground wires were put to the cab body via self-tapping screws. Power was tapped via a military "Y" adapter from the back of the battery gauge. Power went from the "Y" to a 20A inline fused link, then through a toggle switch mounted on the bottom of the dash (near front-end engagement lever), out the back of the cab where the wires come from the slave to the batteries and then up to the lights. Had to haul a tractor home from the neighbors so I figured it would be a good test for the lights...they worked perfectly. While I was at it I also wired in an interior light from a M48 tank to this circuit as well. That way if I'm running at night and I want the interior light I have to have my convoy lights as well. Didn't get any pictures of the wiring or interior light but I can get them next month if wanted. Plan on taking the deuce out when I down for X-mas.
