If it was craigslist I'd have someone offering half of what it's worth, and asking to finance, wanting to put half down via check then sign over the title ..

I have always liked chevy more, but GM kinda ran their business into the ground and is now owned by the UAW and the federal government.
Ford got a HUGE amount of respect from me when they didn't take any government Bail out money.

Edit: changed "buy to "by" what was I thinking?!?!?

Are those police lights in the grill?

:quirky


No.

Yes.


Depends on your definition.

Are they manufactured as warning lights, yes.

Are they a color recognized in WA as belonging to an emergency vehicle, no.

I sell them, I install them, I have a few on my truck if/when I need them. They're all amber.

Looks great John! I think we need to take it out and get it dirty. I'd call you on the radio but mine isn't installed yet.

I don't know about you, but I keep trying to make my seat go lower...

Does WA law regulate purple and green lighting or just red/blue and white strobe?
I've always wanted a purple and green light bar...

73-87 Chevy Fullsize. (& <90 Blazer & 'Burb)

Best. Truck. Ever.

Then GM wussed out & still refuses to offer a real front axle in any of their trucks. Dodge & Ford FTW on that.

Any flashing lights other than turn signals/4 way flashers unless otherwise specified are verboten.
