That's one heck of a first disco!

I saw that on eBay. Nice truck.

Welcome to the forum. Nice looking Disco.

Thanks! The price was right and it checked all the boxes on the things I wanted.

Nice!

Do you know where those headlights came from?

I know he made the housings out of aluminum (he's a machinist).

Do you think you can post a close up like behind the brush bar so we can see them?
