Need opinions on tail light placement - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Both would look good Bryan, but I also agree with Kndall. If you're going to drive this rig, they are close to where most people expect and look for taillights, thus might actually see them when you hit the brakes. Especially sine our lights are not the brightest in the shed.

i think the hight of Tim's are the way to go. they look much better lower. near that body line.

I personally like them how Tim's are. The lower the better usually. But again, this is just my opinion.

Stock height looks good to me. Anyway you cut it they stick out like alfalfa's ears.

The reproduction chrome brackets have very poor chrome plating and will need to be clear coated, rechromed, heavy wax or remade from stainless.

I like the lights the way Tim has his. That is how I would have my lights if I had a stepper...........Jerry

I think the lights loog good where they are but i like my frenched Caddy lights better. Just me. By the way the truck looks awsome!

I'll chime in with my .02, I think they look a lot better closer to the bumper! LOWER IS BETTER in this case....
