I must give young gun credit for the idea. I made some changes but the idea was his.

Yes I used the convoy light br ackets. And 3/8 by 2 inch u bolts I spred the u bolts a extra 1/4 inch to go in to the holes the holes had plugs that I pushed out with a screwdriver. The brackets are 50 inches apart center to center.

I decided on building a light bar to mount the lights over the cab. I started with 2 5 foot pieces of 1 1/2 inch sch 40 pipe and 6 and 1/2 feet of2 by 4 5/16 tubing. I used a broach drill to drill two 1 7/8 holes 50 inches apart. The 1 1/2 pipe fits in the holes and the weight of the tube rest...

I just wanted to say thanks for all of the great ideas from everyone. I picked up a slide in camper today. The camper is sitting on my 1008 for now but after reading the thread I have a game plan to place it on my deuce.

Oh thanks . looks like plan b inverter.

I see that there is a AC terminal on the deuce alternator. Is it possible to wire a 110 volt outlet form the alternator?
