There was somebody on here a couple of months ago that took a poll to see how many guys wanted them. Haven't heard from him since.

That would be Jmac05, hopefully he can make them soon.

jmac05 was busy starting his business awhile back. Check with him now.

I have started the design, but have been busy getting
other things done, like a new website. I am going to make
them a pritority for the new year. The reason we haven't
done them before is because there has been little demand,
at least to me.

I would encourage you to email me, or contact Early Classic
and express your desire. If there is enough desire, I will
get them done sooner. I am also considering an original
set of stepside-style taillights. These would be simply take
them out of the box, mount to the truck, and plug them
into existing wiring. I would also like input on this idea.
Thanks,

I have seen them for fleetside trucks in Classic Trucks magazine....I'll see if I can find the article, maybe the same company makes them for stepsides.....I'm interesed too....my lights are plenty bright at night, but they are lacking during the day.....

Hey Jmac05,

A lot of interest here, especially on the ones that just plug in to existing wiring. Looking forward to them!!!!!

Jmac05

I would be interested in a pair especially that would hook into existing wiring. Would also like it to be all in one. Brake light and reverse lights if it is possible. Cleaner look.

In a magazine I picked up this month, maybe Street Rodder, they had a set of the round ones LED's for step sides. Looked just like stock. I will try to find it when I get home tonight.

didnt longhorn man make some step side LED taillights???

*dtlilly* · 12-01-2004, 03:36 AM

Andy did start working on them, but he's been busier than a one armed wallpaper hanger lately.

67ChevyRedneck · 12-01-2004, 09:18 AM

I found the classic trucks article i was looking for....the article was for LED lights for fleetside trucks..... ECE doesn't make them for stepsides

Jmac05 · 12-01-2004, 11:12 AM

I am going to need quite a few people to express interest.
Here is why:
Just making a new design costs us about ~$3000 when it's all
said and done. I don't need to re-coup that whole cost up front,
but I need some. The more people that are willing to buy them,
the quicker I can justify doing them.

67ChevyRedneck · 12-01-2004, 01:08 PM

Depends.....how much will a set cost????

chevman-67 · 12-01-2004, 05:56 PM

I agree $$$$ is going to be a great factor if you can keep cost reasonable for people they WILL sell. everyone has stock and they work fine but the upgrade to LEDs is better and to me its just an accessory. I will buy them if the price is right as I have been looking for a set for awhile. or find a set of euro lights for a stepside.

Primered_69 · 12-01-2004, 06:19 PM

There was a set advertised in Street Rodder magazine for this month. It is a full page ad on the right hand side of the magazine and had sets for about four or five different cars. I left it at home though.
