The correct shaft length is an exposed 9” or model “GM”. The lights I installed for this truck are the 5” metal housings, or model 250GM. The 6” metal housing would be model 225GM.

      I’ve always liked the look and functionality of them on older vehicles, it’s a cool chrome accessory that you used to see on cars and trucks from when I grew up and before… many years ago dad helped me put the same set of spotlights on an 85 F150 I had. Naturally I wanted to fancy up mom’s truck with a set.

    I liked your installation... I did the same except my aim was to eliminate through-bolts going through the wood to hold the box to the frame. I used the same square tubing you used instead of the wood blocks but I welded the steel blocks to the cross-sills instead of the frame. Drilled a square hole in the bottom of the square tubing pieces and a bigger round hole in the cross-sill to accept carriage bolts. I too use truck mud flaps for all my rubber cushion needs... One trick I've gleaned from you video is to drill the bottom of the frame to clear a socket and attach the front cross-sill to the upper flange of my boxed frame. That will eliminate the protruding nut and bolt that gets in the way of my hoist's rear pads.

      Steves 53 Chevy truck is still in the family and will stay in the family. That includes Steves 93 Chevy truck and my 87 GMC truck. I gifted them to my three boys. The 53 is currently at my middle son, Joes house, because he is the only one with enough room to work on it. All of the boys will be involved in restoring it along the way. I decided to get my own truck so that I wouldn't have to borrow my boys truck, even though they told me I could.

    That looks really clean. I bought a new 73 with the 454 C20. Do your mom a favor and put fuel injection on it. Reliability and ease of starting. I lost my dad 31 years ago. I miss him often as I'm sure you miss your dad. My time following and chatting with Steve were times I enjoyed. I think of him now and then as well.
