3rd brake light

Well I'm almost done, need to wire. here some pictures. Had to cut the back off, make a plate, drill two holes, insert lamp sockets, bend tanks over. Used 8-32 nuts 7 bolts. If you notice that I used nuts befor & after plate For adjustment. You need that for clearance for the lens. When you put the bolts though the housing use an nut to tighten so it acts like a stud.

Re: 3rd brake light

I thought you were adding one from some thing later model. I have a couple from a late square body blazer that seem to look ok up there, also I have one from a Colorado and the sheetmetal cut out around it to graft into the cab that will look good I think as well. I also have a ton of the ones from the 99-07 body style I think they would graft in fairly easy as well. your looks a lot easier than my idea. Jim
