Hella PN#002395301 Replacement Headlight Glass Lenses For Roundeye Trucks

I don't remember if I posted these on here before, so I'm posting them now. I've had these headlights for going on 15 years.

To me, these are the best for 73-79 trucks. they look almost like stock but they have the light cutoff of modern cars. I have a video about them, while not quite safe for work I dont say the F word. I'm sorry Chris, this is the best I can do. If you delete this I understand.

This is my video about my Hella PN#002395301 DOT lenses when i upgraded them to LED Bulbs using Philips PN#12953BWX2 LED Bulbs with drivers.

NSFW, I do cause but no F-word...

I figured a lot of people might be interested in these. They're made of glass, have an amazing cutoff and I've had them for about 15 years. Those philips LED bulbs light up the road so much I got rid of the driving lights under the bumper. The sun comes out when I hit the high beams.

Just joined. Looking forward to browsing, learning, posting, and buying essential supplies

Inherited a 1980 GMC Sierra Classic 25. Will someday detail it's current status and future plans. Right now, we'll just say that "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid."

Door switch for courtesy lights on 1974 c10

April 16, 2026, 01:57:48 pm by fiddler | Views: 3773 | Comments: 6

I have a titled 1974 chevy C10 with parts from a multitude of vintage. The switch that turns on the dome light when you open the door (door jam switch?) has failed. Turns out the spring has springed too many times and is now in pieces. So I ordered replacement from truck. it's too long. It appears the 1973 and 1974 model switches were shorter. Does anybody have a source for these switches? The tube after the hex area is proud by .23 inch. Suspect was supposed to be .25 but is appears a bit mushrooomed by 52 years of opening and closing the door. Thanks in advance for your help.

Noisy AC Compressor

April 14, 2026, 09:36:00 am by fiddler | Views: 3908 | Comments: 4

i have a titled 1974 C10 Stepside. Lots of different years of parts on it so I say titled. The engine is a 350 with no port for a mechanical fuel pump so maybe an 80s block? Anyway it is using R134 gas for cooling. The compressor is stock. I think the guy who replaced it for me years back said an A4. Anyway it is cooling great but is annoyingly noisy. Has been noisy since it's installation, but I am becoming more annoyed by the noise. Is there an after market compressor that is known for quiet operation? Any way to quiet down the compressor? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks in advance for your response.

Fuel Lines from the top of the tank to the selector valve replacement

Well they've dried up and cracked and are sucking air now. Trucks been sitting for a few months cuz I haven't gotten to it yet.

Which do you guys think is easier, Raise the bed enough to access them (bed bolts were removed 18 years ago and tack welded to the bed floor) or drop the tanks (which have never been removed from new)?

I think it's gonna be raise the bed. What's the best way to do that? Do I have to remove the step bumper? I last replaced those hoses 18 years ago when the bed was off for painting but we didn't have ethanol gas back then. I have new good hoses for that now, just askin which you think is easier, I think it'll be raising the bed.
