Looks just enough room to operate those in that space up front, I can see you like improving on campers design but in my opinion those LED's would have to have been switched by remote control,
given your fondness for camping in the woods I'd have thought you'd have been just the person to remotely trigger lighting from a distance for finding way home
Mark for example finds his way home by following the trail of screwed up pages from motorhome monthly he drops behind him

What's the overall length of your Fastguns Jose?
The website says they are 14.5" I only need 13.5".
Did you have to modify them in any way? And if so, how did you do this?
Do you have a link of where you got them from please.
Or would the derringer handles be a better option?

Sadly I think Torklift have stopped selling the fastguns with the original and rather classy Winchester Repeater style handle and now do just a basic handle instead. I think the former tended to trap people's fingers. Glad you managed to get a set of the cool original ones.

The handle design is irrelevant, if you use them inside the trucks bed

. Got the minimum length of Tischer fastguns. It is 34cm (13,5"). A picture from Tischer catalog.

I got a photo of the derringer handle. In this case, the minimal length is about 50cm.

In fact the handle design is relevant when using inside the truck bed - I would say the new simpler design is much safer when reaching into a space like that - much less risk of trapping fingers. The fancy Winchester Repeater type only really have show-off value when visible from outside - i.e. if you have chassis-mounted tie-downs.

Agree. The new design is safer and more comfortable to handle. No doubt about that. The tischer's handle design is horrible, if you ask me.
