Default Photos of Convoy Light Extensions??

Does anyone have any close up photos of the extension for the convoy lights? I think I have all the parts except the extensions. Unless someone has a pair for sale I am going to have to fab up a set, and some photos would be big help since I have never actually seen a setup on a truck, except at a distance. I plan to have a yellow light on one post and a spot/flood light in a cage on the other. Can't have enough light on a wrecker!
THanks,
James G.

rumplecat,

I just went out to do some measuring,

The outside ( housing ) tube measures 58 1/2'' long, then there is the wing nut portion of the mount which sits on top of the main tube which measures another 1 1/2''.

The inner pipe length is 40 1/2'' long, the original ' pin through holes' are as measured from the top down,,,

1st is located 1 1/2'' ( from the top down )
2nd @ 19 1/2''
3rd @ 22''

You could actually put more holes in it thought as when I did the measurement for the overall lenght of the inner tube, I pulled it all the way out of the outside tube, there is plenty of stretch in the coiled power feed leads.

Hope this helps,
Jeff
