Yea Mike really came through with the lead to elightbars. Those guys are emergency light geniuses!!!

If I can get these cheap enough ( the pair in pic) then I'll have them powder coated black and find the correct bulbs...either way I know what I'm searching for now. Still not even for sure mine had them or not but I want a set to keep with the car either way...

I just got off the phone with one of my contacts (retired FLEET MANAGER for GSP). During our previous conversation he could not remember what light housing was used on the 83's, just that they used Whelen lights on everything. Well as soon as I mentioned the name "YANKEE" he blurted out YEEAA that's what they were! He said he could remember for the life of him, but as soon as I said that word it all came back to him ( remember he's almost 80). So the guys at elightbars done really good!!! Hopefully we can meet up soon to go through his paperwork and get some more info. :-)

I've gotta deal in the works for the chrome pair. Gonna try to restore them and have them powder coated satin black. So I'll at least have them until I can find a original mint black pair :-)

Thanks, it was really Mike (Imevil) that sent me to elightbars and those guys there made the suggestions. I just said maybe, or no until the YANKEE's came up and then BINGO! :-) the rest is history... :-)

Sounds like a good plan!

Yeah, elightbars is a great resource. Quite a bit of the equipment for my FHP came from those guys.

I think you're smart jumping on that pair...no big loss if other (better) ones show up later.
