Is there a way

[low&slow]

Wondering if there is a way to take out the tail light buckets from inside the bed without cutting up the bed itself. Is it possible or not?

Not sure I understand the question. The tail light buckets come out on the outside.

I did it less than a week ago and just took the two screws out of the plate and pulled them through the cut out in the bed side. It was a tight fit but tape on the bodywork and a little prying with a pocket screwdriver and they were out.

When you take the tail light lenses out, there is a place inside the bedside that the tail lights sit in.

I should be able to post pics early next week if you don't get it before then. It's all apart right now.

Sorry it took me a week, the truck is at my dad's house.

Take out the two screws in the housing out, then I gently pried on the bottom and pulled it out at an angle.

Then I had enough room to get my fingers under the bottom of it

It comes out, just barely in the cut out for it

Then I unplugged the wiring to the bulb.

End result.


Hope that clears it up for you...

I took mine out so I could weld over the chrome strip holes so I didn't have to have the chrome around the lights
