they will work for a curved light bar, the picture i posted was a curved bar. my Nfab mounts weren't made for a curved light bar and had to do some modifications to make them work.

With a curved bar, can the nfab mounts still fit in the rain gutter? My bar is straight and those mounts are a tight fit in there

if you bent them enough I guess theoretically they could fit in the channel but it was much easier to not mount them in the channel.

Got my GMC/Chevy mounts in today! When I get home I'll look at how I can set them up and hopefully give some details for you all!

Will the gmc mounts mount a 50" straight bar? In the picture he has a curved one?

Will I be able to mount this switch in my dash, or do I have to have a rocker switch panel for them? I really want this for my 50"

i believe you'll need a rocker panel for that. They're cheap and come in any amount you need, put it somewhere with extra room incase you decide to add a few more links to it for more switches if that makes sense.

i would start here and do some searching, these are made for a minimum of 2 switches, you could have the empty slot but Thats up to you.. I know they make a single somewhere... http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004IA...AgL&ref=plSrch
