Any updates on this?

The supplier I was originally hoping to use, has put this on the backburner for another projects unless I wanted to buy say oh.....a thousand of them. i picked another LED manufacturer last week and I will be able to get them made through him. Not sure at the cost though, I am hoping very reasonable so not to alienate to many customers on a budget. Anyways, he will also be doing full panel LED's exclusively for us as well. Stay tuned........

As leverage to get the guy to produce them, they are the same thing as Camaro back-up lights. He could sell a few more that way I'm sure.

First gen? STD or RS?

Pretty sure it's 67-69, but not 100%. I know from the factory, GM used both left and right assemblies, because some of them have the wiring exiting towards the passenger side.

EDIT: I found the answer here on the board. '69 RS

I converted the cargo light on my '71 to a third brake light using mostly junk yard parts. Pretty simple job really if all you want is a third brake light and don't want to keep the cargo light.

I used (i think because it's been awhile) JB WELD to attach the new socket to the Chevy housing. Then scrounged the van section of the local Pick-A-Part until i found a lenses i could cut down and used some black silicone to make a gasket. You could check your local hobby shop for some red lexan to use for a lenses. I used the original cargo light wiring, one for a ground and ran one to the brake light switch so it would be separate from the brake lights.

Dave at Early Classic Enterprises seemed to like it so i guess it wasn't to redneck.
