A Chevy or GMC C/K pickup should not need permanent body changes just to carry compact trail pods. These hood hinge mounts keep the truck’s classic styling intact while adding a dedicated auxiliary-light location. CNC-cut and brake-formed American steel gives your lighting setup a vehicle-specific foundation.

A perfect fit man, so happy with the results, they feel really sturdy and durable. The customer service was always helpful. Although my package was late it was worth the wait🙏
Super happy with my ditch light bracket. These guys are the only ones for my truck. 1990 k2500. Nice heavy and solid bracket. Nice coated paint on it. I like the custom A on it. Nice touch. Instructions were and install were easy. Only thing I recommend for instill is, the side you do, stay on one side like it says but take the front screw out first then add the new screw which doesn’t let the hood slide when you take them both out, screw in the new bolt and leave unscrewed half inch. Super happy with it. Pics posted.
Really good love the material very fast shipping got here in two days just one thing on the instructions you can’t slide it over anymore as if the design was changed and instructions kept the same over all easy to install and good quality
Shipping took a bit longer than expected, but they were very helpful when I inquired on the status. Communication is top notch. Brackets are a perfect fit for the vehicle, however I did have to drill out the holes for the lights to fit in. I also had one spot on a single bracket where the powder coat had chipped off during shipping. No fault of theirs though, it’s an awesome product and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy anything else from Apoc Industries!
Well made ditch light brackets. Fit and finish is top notch. Instructions were not clear on the supplied bolts purpose to replace the factory hood bolts due to the factory bolts no longer being long enough. Although that should be obvious, I had a little trouble getting the new bolts started and began to question if the new bolts were the correct thread. Turns out they were correct and the issue I had was my fault. Overall really happy with the purchase of these brackets!
I bought these brackets for my first gen Escalade that I use as my adventure vehicle. Added ditch lights for better vision off-road and while camping. These bolted right on, and fit great! very happy with my Purchase!
Super easy to install, for the particular light pods I have I needed to drill out the mounting hole. Overall it fits great, nothing rubs and they provide longer bolts for the hood.
First off the customer service is on point. I called them once and they were able to check my status. Then i emailed then and got a response same day. I installed the the ditch mounts onto my obs 99 suburban. She is now looking pretty B A. The work, the time, the wait was well worth it. On a side note the shipping was a different story it took a little longer but that was no fault of apoc. Thanks guys. I will continue to buy your product. Brad
Super happy with the product. Call the company for shipping questions, very nice on the phone and answered all my questions. Got the brackets in a week. Quick ship too. Super easy to install. I recommend one side like instructions say but take the front bolt out first then replace with new bolt,screw new bolt leaving half inch out, this will it keep the hood from sliding. If you do both the hood will slide. Glad i found this style of bracket, these are the only ones on the market. Pics will be uploaded.
I am glad that you make these ditch light brackets, they where the only ones I could find for OBS GM trucks.
They are well made and fit nice plus they are priced well.
I also like that they are American made!
88-98 Chevy C/K Ditch Light Mount.
Shipping was quick. The light mount is very sturdy and it fit perfectly on top of the hood hinges with the supplied hardware. It puts the light right where you need it to see deer running to cross the road. Does look a little “red-neck”. I wish it put the light a little closer to the hood.
All in all, a very well made product that fits without any modifications.
I am very happy with the ditch mount brackets for my 1992 Silverado K2500, they are well made and fit perfectly on my vehicle. The brackets came with all the hardware need for install.
I am looking fwd to mounting up some lights.
The parts were well priced, shipped quickly and were very well packaged.
