94 Chevy K2500 4x4 Build

[OBSTruckMan]

I have had an 88 1/2 ton 4x4 Chevy Truck and now a 94 Silverado 3/4 ton 4x4. I have added the good parts from the 88 to the 94. Rebuilt the engine and new pump in the tranny. I am from Wisconsin but spent 8 years in Western Colorado. That is where the truck came from. Totally rust free. I bought the 94 as a parts truck as the cab looked like it had a tree drop on it and a blown engine. It has a 3 inch body lift, 2004 Silverado HD wheels, flashing amber lights, 5.7 tbi that is bored out 40 thousands, pulls a car hauling trailer, and is fun out 4 wheelin'. I am in the middle of a cab swap and interior swap from 94 to 95.

Hey there OBSTruckman.
If You have the system of four sealed beam bulbs on that 1988 truck, You can swap those straight acrost to that 1994 truck.
Then the low and high beams are independent of each other and the goass lenses never dulls from UV rays.
Adjust the low beams so that they are brighter to lighting up the road but not so bright that people is always flashing for You to dim.
Then adjust the bright beams for about a mile.
Then, wire the low beams through a relay switch from the bright beams so that when the bright beams are light up, the low beams is still on too.
Now that illuminates the road ahead.
Oh yeah, also, the grill on the GMT400 trucks is also notched to fit around the quad beam system so no unnecessary fitting for that part.

I was fortunate that during the cash for clunkers, there was a 1988 K1500 in the scrap heap.
I nabbed them headlamps with the buckets, and since it was laying on its side I nabbed the transfer case too.
Now not knowing what to do now with that T-Case.
I was very surprised when those headlamp buckets fit my truck.
I have them adjused so that I can see for at least a mile.
