Just wondering if anyone has mounted fog lights on a 1955-1957 Chevy pickup and how they mounted them. I will be using a switch and relay for the electrical portion of the install.
Thanks,

They were mounted on a pair of L brakets made from 2"x2" aluminum. There was a slight offset (about 1/8") made in the bottom section just below the bumper to clear the splash apron. The brakets were directly bolted to the apron behind the bumper. I don't have a good picture of what it has now, but the new mounting is very similar. The new one is a 1 peice design, rather than having separate mounts for each light. It's more stable, the lights do not bounce around as much. I'll see if I can get some pix up of it for you, right now I really can't get to the truck to get a good shot.

I'd suggest steel over aluminum as it is 3x stiffer so the lights will not vibrate as mentioned above. http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/...ogress/Exterior%20Completed/2a66a695.jpg
