Convoy light install

[FreightTrain]

Does anyone have a good side shot showing how all the parts go together for a convoy light set?Got a partial kit from TNJ and want to try to install atleast half of it tomorrow.....err today....whatever day Friday is when you read this.

well,crap.Loosely installed one light(only have 2 U bolts that came with the truck!) and found out the light hits the cargo cover.I can't put it down all the way.Luckly though,I planned on pinning it all the way up so it would clear the high rise cargo cover but guess this means I will need to measure the lights and mark my overall on the dash so I can be really really careful driving under low bridges.Suckers are gonna be WAY up there.I did notice why my windows are hard to roll up.Dang Hard top is slide forward at the top and the rear is canted forward a little.Guess I will be loosening it up and push it back a little.The joys of owning a MV....

Really?? I wonder if mine clear because my bed is moved back 2-3" for the dump....

oh,looking at it close I guess at the lowest pin-able point it looks like it might clear the stock cover height but since my cover is jacked up I guess it hits.

freight train-do you still need install manuals etc. I have nos kits that have the manuals and blueprints if you still need them let me know.

Nah,thanks.Got them from another feller here on SS.When I get off my lazy butt I am gonna scan them and send to mangus to add to the site.But I am still looking for U bolts.

I've got some convoy light U-bolts but unfortunately, they are in my garage in Nevada and I am in NJ for the next two months. If you are willing to wait, I can get them to you when I return home.
