truckdrivinsob · 01-30-2012, 10:04 PM

Got bored with the stockers so i did these!

Max1775 · 01-30-2012, 10:08 PM

I think they'll look pretty good once you fill the rest in. Should match the back up lights well. Looks like they could be further out though.

truckdrivinsob · 01-30-2012, 10:11 PM

Yeah they are not done....... obviously. Thats the look i am going for "frenched" in tail lights.

JRANGER · 01-30-2012, 10:20 PM

wow nice...I like it...

JRANGER · 01-30-2012, 10:24 PM

where did you get those bulbs?

truckdrivinsob · 01-30-2012, 10:25 PM

they are 50 pontiac lights

chevy_mike · 01-30-2012, 10:28 PM

Actually I like them but I think it would really rock to have a pair of them, stacked to really give it a cool vibe!!!

truckdrivinsob · 01-30-2012, 10:33 PM

that would be cool but my wife/financial adviser would shoot me..

dugvera@gmail.com · 01-30-2012, 11:49 PM

You have one of those too!? My wife/financial adviser must have some kinda app on her phone that tells her when im buying burb parts!

Pretty slick idea. Not too bad.

**slepysal** · 01-31-2012, 12:35 AM

man I like them . were did you get them ?

**Corts60** · 01-31-2012, 12:43 AM

I'm diggin that a lot! Nice work man.

markeb01 · 01-31-2012, 12:50 AM

I’ve always loved 50 Pontiac lights, I think they look great. Nice job blending them in. It would be even cooler if you could fabricate a custom backup lens for the lower part of the original cavity, leaving an appearance similar to the design of a 1950 Oldsmobile headlight.

I am a simple is better guy. I like the idea but I think when its done and the stock bumpers are on and the bed is all smoothed out. No stake pockets no tailgate chains. It'll look right. Before you place to much judgment let me get it finished first!

truckdrivinsob · 01-31-2012, 07:04 AM

Thanks guys! The back up lights are being looked into not sure might use some old glass bee hive cab lights from a peterbilt..........

LostMy65 · 01-31-2012, 07:29 AM

like it a lot.

1963c-10 · 01-31-2012, 10:05 AM

Looks good

chevy_mike · 01-31-2012, 12:31 PM

Yeah but still think you should save up and do this.

I went for a similar look. But I used 58 Chevy tail lights. If you scroll down you'll see them.

Looks great man

I think 2 is to much for me. Just wait till they're filled and done. It'll look right.

Narxoleptic Customs · 02-01-2012, 09:00 AM

Great idea and I think the placement is perfect. Good job.
