I like the high mounted spot lights

sledge I'm gonna scratch your head, I have put led lights on the roof of da ram, I did not want to drill any holes in the roof so I went with plug in magnet based and are wired with ciggy lighter plugs with switches,  I have them run just behind the amber run lights and the wire goes to the rear doors both sides and slide down the b piller, do you know of some type of adhesive channel or such that I could put over the wires on the roof to prevent any fllapping in the wind, I haven't found ANYTHING in that vein and my only thought was black 200 mph tape, any ideas?

Why am I asking you????? You sed you like the high mounted lights, so......................

Does not but to me it looks like it might be a Pontiac V8

My bad the Pontiac V8s were 56 57 and 58

Looks like the v6 . Good old motors

We have a winner 

It would appear to be that was the only V engine in that time period 

Are the plugs on the intake side in those motors?

And I assume the tandem master cylinder was added

I like those high mounted lights on that truck.  I always mounted auxiliary lights on the bumper personally.   Not sure I have any advice on your situation without drilling holes. I have seen brackets that mounted to the area just forward of your side mirrors but never anything for cab top that did not screw down really. Even with screw down mounts you still have wiring to deal with so it’s more holes instead of less…. Sorry

Good thing it’s got a dump bed. No way a mortal man could move that many squirrel pelts by hand. 😊

Laugh it up, they are small, they all look alike, and they invade in droves, taking over wherever they go until the resources are depleted… sound familiar? I say shoot them now or wish you had later.

The strength of magnets and différent tapes is amazing now, thats why I steered away from drilling, water finds a way no matter how good your prep is, thanx.

Lexcell is an amazing adhesive, but don’t plan on ever removing it
