Deuce interior light

[badgmc56]

Here are a few pictures of my interior light install. The light unit is made by Truck-lite. Part #79358-R comes with red lens and 1156 bulb. I ran a power wire from the battery on the left, looking at it from the passenger side, that is grounded to the chassis to a switch so I could get 12 volts. Then from the switch to the light. My pyrometer is tapped into the same battery wire for power. No problems with running that battery down. Load tested both batterys before the install and after using it for a couple weeks there was very little difference in voltage. I threw in a picture of a grab handle I installed for the passenger side.

Is the grab handle from an M416 trailer? I think Saturn has NOS ones that are the same as what's on the outside of the cabs.

The grab handle is from Home Depot. It's in the hardware section. Under 10.00. I used 5/16 head self tapping screws to mount it. Of course I had to paint it CARC green.
