I don't know when this "88GMC" guy came around, but I've had this name since 2001 or 2002 on all the forums I've used.

Agreed

I've been wanting to add some more lighting to my 88. Just not sure how......

How big of a lamp can I fit behind my grill? Does anyone know how much clearance there is?

It's pretty tight. I've seen it done, you'll need some of those slim lights for sure.

Oh, unless you have an external oil or transmission cooler. Then it's likely a no-go.

Oh yeah... I do have a tranny cooler, forgot about that. Yeah, I think my lights are 3 1/2 to 4" thick or so

Unless it's short haul DD type use, i wouldn't be plugging those big lights between the grill and rad stack.

You'll probably get away with them there 90% of the time for other uses besides DD, but hit one big hill on a warm day with a decent load on and you'll be sitting on the side of the road watching it do it's best "old faithful" impression in short order.

If you're lucky, it'll cool and you'll carry on.

If you're unlucky you'll scuff a piston skirt and get to enjoy a nice knock knock knock every time you cold start it....
