CHICKEN LIGHTS/marker lights let's see some pics of em
I had to add that in there for people who don't speak hick, LOL. So let's see pics of your chicken lights you've added to your truck or others you've seen.
|
I'd like to see some (not stock) individual GM ones :w2:
:pca1: |
I never knew why they were dubbed chicken lights, its a southern thing... Explain :humm:
|
I don't think it's a southern thing really, more of a trucker thing. That's just what i heard em called growin up.

I'm probably way off, but I assumed the term came from truckers that were afraid or "chicken" about not being safe or at least legal with marker lights. |

|
Come on guys, I know some of ya'll out there have got to have some of these lights on your truck or have got pics of somebody's that does

Chicken lights are put on the front of truck bumper to help the driver get as close as possible to an object before having to make a corrective turn or maneuver. The reason there called chicken lights is because truckers were/are afraid of damaging the nose of there rigs.

Well I didn't know that Buckshot, thanks for that input. Guess it kinda goes along with the poles with lights people put on the front bumper, cuz I always heard them called
"rookie sticks" |

pretty sure that is what buckshot was talkin about.
I had an ole 1952 Willy's panel that I drove when I was 16. My Pops drove truck back then and he had an ole pair of "chicken sticks" he gave me, so I put them on my ole Willy's. It turned out pretty sweet! I have a pic somewhere I try to find and post it up! |

If you guys used a tripod or put your camera on something stable your pics would be better.
|
|
black smoke, are those mounted directly to your truck where your body panels are welded together?
|
Hey AF1 you got any pics of your truck from the front in the daylight? I like the looks of the two extra cab lights.
