[T2] moving turn signals

[Kevin Guarnotta]

Hi Guys,

As you may recall my '69 singlecab had an accident.
Front end a little smushed. I'm trying to repair it. I ordered a new nose panel - and was going to have the shop cut in the holes to locate the turn signals in the correct location (the new nose panels are for later bay windows with the turn signals up high).

My body shop guys is saying it is kind of crazy for me to locate the lights down low - given the amount of labor to cut the front, and add whatever brackets, plus to cover the holes etc. He is recommending just moving the wiring up, and going with the higher turn signals. I understand what he is saying, and am in agreement with it. I was wondering (aside from aesthetics) is there any problem with doing something like this? Ie will I run into other problems with wiring?

Thanks for any tips on this.
