Tail lights, brake lights, blinkers........show me whatcha got
My truck came with only a tail light/ brake light on the drivers side and someone added blinkers at some point.
Not going back to that set up. Inspire me...... A '54 car tail light caught my eye......thinking I could cut these into the back of the fenders. |

In case you don't want to cut into anything. I've seen these type used with a small bracket mounting in the general area of the stock position. You can find them on ebay.
They look good |

Or if you want to keep it original, I have a set of original tail lights & brackets I'd give you. They are good used repops I was going to use on my '50 I sold to a friend. You can have them. Picture below.

Those will look good and keep it period cool. I must have lost the one on the right side? Oops.....no turn or rt side brake. Mine was only set up as one unit from the factory and a wet left arm when it rains

Re: Tail lights, brake lights, blinkers........show me whatcha got
I've got the same set of bullet tail lights that Wood1 posted on Ebay for months thinking that they really would look good on the 48.
As much as I respect Newfisher's ideas, I just flat cannot go along with the one tail light thing and no turn signals in today's world. In the yakima valley where I live if you were to stick your hand out to signal for a right turn there is a good chance you would get shot at by the car behind you because they thought you flipped them off. Half the other drivers around here wouldn't know a hand signal if it slapped them along side the head. I need bright brake, tail and turn signals on any of my rigs to survive.
