    OK, guys and gals, I am back... The last six months of my life I wouldn't wish on anyone. Well, maybe my husband's ex-wife LOL.
    The goal now is to get busy and get the truck fixed up and running good. I would like to put a little money into it. Paint, mechanical issues, and yes, chrome. Need to finish up the lights so they won't fall out when I'm going down the road. I am pretty sure that I've found a guy who paints and doesn't charge an arm and a leg. My friend who helped me a little last year on small things is up to the challenge.
    I'm open to suggestions. (don't be mean haha) Paint color, stacks, wheels etc. I'm ready to go.

    I had a guy look at the truck and he didn't laugh. At least not in front of me... If you have looked at the picture, you can see only one stack. What is to keep me from having two? The guy told me it couldn't happen. Could someone please explain it to me in laymen's terms?

    Well, girl, you took six months off and a lot of the folks that used to help you out on here don't come around anymore.

    I'm not saying it's done. Perhaps it's just waiting for a new crop to sprout up. :biggrin_25525:

    unless there is something physically in the way, there is no reason why you couldnt add a second stack

    Donk is right, you can buy a conversion kit that will convert your 1 stack to 2.

    Sorry for the HUGE quote. I'm wondering if anyone has done this retro fit successfully. If so please share with us what to expect to also be successful fitting these onto our 377's.

    Currently I'm running around in the dark trying to see the road. Please help! Thx!

    Thanks for the GREAT information on the 377 headlights. I just ordered a pair for my Pete. The seller states that they are glass. I hope this is true, as the crappy plastic ones get cloudy/milky over time. My lights are so poor, I have thought about adding on aftermarket lighting, like the truckers "Down Under" add on to their riggs. I will try this first. I have seen OEM lights selling over $800 a pair, so a buck thirty four is a super bargan, even if I have to buy a pigtail and some bulbs. So, again thanks....You Rock!

    Just ordered the Audi headlights for my Pete. The origanal lights are not worth the powder to blow them to hell. Thanks for the information, OEM headlights run $800 plus. The Audis were $134, even with having to buy pigtails and bulbs, it's a bargen. The seller also states that they are made of glass, this solves the clouding/milky thing that happens to the crappy plasitc lenses. I was so sick of not being able to see, I almost bought aftermarket lighting (like the truckers down under use) So thanks again!
