Tail Lights

Hello, my stepside is in need of taillights before I can start driving it again. Anybody have any ideas. I really dont want to put stockers back on it, looking for something a little nicer looking.

Re: Tail Lights

The older round ones arent to bad, I might just go with them if they arent to pricy. But I believe in 77 they started using the big square ones, trying to stay away from those. There not bad or anything, thats what was on my truck when I got it. They were in really bad shape so I pulled em off.

Re: Tail Lights

Im thinking about the small round ones but I would also need the brackets. The trailer lights that were on it were jerry rigged pretty bad. Wouldn't need reverse lights either, never put a reverse switch in when I installed my 4speed.

Re: Tail Lights

Re: Tail Lights

if you go to a tractor trailer supply you can get different kinds of lights that you can mount in the stepside wheel wells... Ive seen people put in kinda aroow shapes round shapes oblong shapes and i saw another guy morph in corvette lites too them kinda rounded squares.. ive also seen people put them led strips under the tailgate and half act as a left turn signal and half act as the right.. the possibilities abound!!
