Hot Rods 34 ford PU drop head light bar???

I keep see'n, them in pics... but no one sells them???

 

You have a torch?

 

I don't know what head lights these are....but they just don't look right to me, maybe if lowered... they kinda look like they should mount to the grille shell???

 

The lights may be BLC's. I've got them on my daily driver deuce pickup mounted on a Pete Eastwood dropped B bar and they look fine. Contact Pete Eastwood on here, he may be able to drop your 33/34 bar? My truck also sits 4-5 inches lower. Every little bit helps.

 

Here's a great thread by @badshifter that walks you through the process of dropping a headlight bar. It's pretty straightforward.

I agree with Gary, making a jig and dropping your existing headlight bar is not rocket science but it does take time and practice, getting someone like Pete Eastwood drop yours would ensure it would be done correctly and would be a matter of just bolting it back on. HRP

 

Please don't mount them on the radiator shell, that would be FUGLY! HRP

 

the word you are looking for is 'dropped'. its a dropped headlight bar. same as 'dropped' axle

 

the word is where??? as in where to buy one. I also call them drop axels...

 

this looks a lot better than what I got...

 

got pics???

 

You could also take a stainless 32 dropped bar and modify it. The biggest difference between a 32 bar and a 33/34 pickup bar is the tube going across the grille shell. Its curved outward. You could cut and make a new tube across as well if you can weld stainless or know someone who can.

 

Read well into the 2nd page of this post…..

When I did the first Club Cab pickup for Speedway I used a stainless deuce headlight bar. Took a little ingenuity to get it right but it was O K. By the time I did the second one for Ford Performance I'd found an original dropped 33/34 bar.

 

I simply don't has the time to spend building something you can buy for 200 bucks..I have 30 cars that all need something..and I pick whats most important, I'm not gonna make a shovel just because I own a welding fab/ muffler shop.... I'll just buy one... I don't have much use of my right arm right now..

 

thanks a million for this post.. I really like the last post in that thread and way it was done....it made the bar level instead of bowing up...

 

pretty much had to LMFAO when I read this...first off.... eastwood never replied... probley in the cone of silence and forbidden to reply or give likes to any of my post... and like said... you can buy a dropped head light bar for 150 bucks.. I sure as fuc anit gonna spend 8 hours shop labor fabbing something I can buy for 150 bucks... and so far for me... every part I buy has china virus and never fits... never is it bolt on as advertised...I've been doing this***** for 60 years,... and though it would be nice... I don't an ounce of respect out of you... you come at me harsh every chance you get...and maybe take the wheel size job with a little too much emotion...I don't think anyone posts pics of wheels just to get under your skin....but I could be wrong..I know I don't... but I think you playing me out to be stupid and will never get it,.. and know nothing is pretty harsh.... kinda like the cross walk guard chewing my**** for stepping off the curb a second before the walk sign flashed.then asked me how stupid are you that you just don't get it..all the while he's standing out in the 115 degree weather working for free..or the cop that wanted to give me a jay walking ticket because I didn't stay between the white line all the way across the street... maybe.... just maybe... you get a little worked up too much over the super MOD job... but hope it all works out for you

 

Well, you're doing a great job....

And you are here complaining constantly about the place and that no one likes you…wonder why that is?

 

Go ahead and buy the 32 headlight bar. Then come back here and whine to us all that it didn’t fit your 33-34.

 

Go ahead and purchase the 32 Ford headlight bar and tell us how well it fit, you have been told by several long time members that have built 32/34 Ford trucks, there is a big difference in a '32 and a 33/34 Headlight bars.

A 1932 Ford aftermarket dropped headlight bar is not a bolt on for your application. HRP

 

it's not supposed to be bolt on...I'm gonna cut and tig weld it... nothing I get is ever "BOLT ON" this truck has a 32 lite bar...

 

also I don't do what people "TELL" me to do... , but will listen to suggestions and ideas...

 

What was the question?

 

I didn't mean to infer the 32 headlight bar was bolt on but with some minor tweaking It worked and looked good. At the time that's what was available. Unfortunately I built both 33/34 club cabs in the days before digital cameras, home computers etc. I have 3-4 boxes with pictures and there's probably a few pictures in there. I sent ALLDONE a picture of the red Speedway club cab I built for Ford Perfromance with a dropped 33/34 bar and also a couple pictures of my deuce pickup with BLC's so he could see how they looked with a dropped bar.
