I was looking a photos of 33 chevys on the net and I noticed that my head light bar that attaches to the grille shell that I am using the bottom hole...photos that I seen on the net shows the bar going thru the top hole... so I went out and tried to use the top hole and it was impossible to do, there was a gap on under the end of the bar that attaches to the fender. The gap is large enough to get your finger under... i also tried my other set of bars and same result....any one have any ideas....any difference between a Standard and a Master head light bar.....at my wits end with this problem, but I want to get it right
Photo shows the passenger side bar on fender no gap....Fit is good using bottom hole on the shell...

FATnLOW, if you think the top hole is for the headlight bar, what is the bottom hole for? Why not just use the bottom hole?.....Just saying.
-
Chopper......One hole (small) for light bar in pic I have seen other hole for conduit for electrical wires,,, may have to use it like it is ,but wanted to do it right if possible
-
Are you sure you have the right headlight bars? 34 truck headlight bars are commonly mistaken as 33 car/
34 truck bars are almost straight across , where the 33 car has a slight kink in them
I'll see if I cant find a pair here to show the difference ,both are about the same length .

That is what I was wondering, if you could have some car and some truck pieces.

Woodremover, Sixball............I will post a photo of the head light bar without the head light bucket bar mounted tomorrow...may be it is a set of truck head light bars......... might solve this set back yet, with the help of the guys on the site...

Ed, Here's how mine fit. The top hole is where the headlight bar attaches and the bottom hole is for the wiring. I agree that you may have either a different year or parts from a truck.
-
This is what I have mounted. I believe that they may be truck bars..they look straight llke woodemover commented .... anyone have have a set they want to sell
-
Sure look like truck , need a picture looking down from the top
-
Photos looking down
-
Yes they are truck arms , I don't think I have any here at the house to send you a photo of the proper arm ,but will look
-
Ed,
Here's the best pics I have of mine. They are out for chrome so I can't give you any measurements. Hope it helps.

Tom...I see the differences so with that being said, I must have the truck version of the head light bars. I will try to locate a set, so far no luck. I really didn't see anything wrong with how they mounted and looked on the car. Chopper said why not use the bottom hole in essence leave them like they are, and that got me thinking if I can't find a set I will leave them as they are, but modify the large hole to match the small mounting hole ,close off the original small and provide a hole under the arm to run the conduit as it would normally be. Like you said that's what makes it your car..with all the different parts on it from various years
Got to get it done have only 9 days before it goes to the paint shop.......
-
Yes those are the correct stands for a 33
-
Finally got a set .. they look a whole lot better than the truck ones that I had mounted......Thanks
