"Van style"...side markers swap....pics.
Best kept secret to clean up the side of your 68-72 pickup ....before and after, truck style to van style.
<5 min. of labor, around 20 bucks a pair......simple !!! Would have shown the red--rears but............don't use em, I have a flatbed !!! |

I use them on my pickup bed trailers...they look clean. I get them for a couple bucks at the wrecking yard.

Re: "Van style"...side markers swap....pics.
So they use the existing socket? Does the light just come through the little rectangle in the middle? What do they look like at night?

Same socket its just centered instead of offset like the truck models...just put mine on and haven't had a chance to check how they look with the lights on...I need to pickup a couple of new bulbs. Maybe someone can post a pic with them lit up |

Re: "Van style"...side markers swap....pics.
I have had mine for about three years on there huge improvement...I decided to go this route rather than cutting the fender to flush the gold fish side markers.

Re: "Van style"...side markers swap....pics.
Actually vans 68---to van's into the 90's ...not sure exactly what year they changed.
Brothers Trucks part description say's "68-72 van" ...but I know they went way past that. Last edited by RUSHNBOBO; 09-10-2011 at 12:04 PM. Reason: spelling |

Love your truck btw ....do you have gaskets under the van markers? mine didn't come with them, and the originals are different ...so I just screwed them on sans gasket. Not a big deal on a truck which is driven less than 800 miles a year. But daily drivers will want to use a gasket to keep the water out. |

Re: "Van style"...side markers swap....pics.
Would these replace the Deluxe side markers as well?

Re: "Van style"...side markers swap....pics.
I think the truck sidemarkers look better with the low-buck french in. To each his own.
