I've always thought it would be cool to french some later model Cadillac taillights into the rear stake pockets on a step-side.

The first one is a 50's Pontiac and then a '55 cameo pickup

My 68 step side YOU CAN RUb YOU'R HAND OVER THEM AND CANT EVEN FELL THEM THEY ARE LED VERY BRIT

oh yeah I've got a pic of an el camino bumper on my buddies 62 step like SIR was talkin about

BR3W CITY · 05-08-2010, 03:17 AM

this isn't the best shot, but i removed my revers lights (also a 66 so they were standard) and welded the stock buckets into the holes. The holes are almost the same size so not a ton of modification is needed. Here a rough shot with some sealer that had to be sanded off.

you can kinda see how it sits on this one

Here's my old 60 Apache which I've since sold. I put 63 Impala tails mounted on trailer light buckets..

I,m using the 50 Pontiac tail lights. I wanted them to stand away from the fender a little. I rolled a tube and welded a end on it cut a hole in the fender and welded it in. The picture does,nt show it but I have welded a rod around the tube to flow it into the fender better I would post a picture but it,s at the painters. I,m using the bed curl light I go them from Mar K.

Dustin07 · 09-12-2011, 10:08 PM

those look good both frenched and protruded. I was hoping to find buckets online or something so I could be lazy about it lol, but knowing they are 50' pontiac helps substantially in getting started. thanks guys-

Always wondered how these would look

mister twister · 09-13-2011, 12:53 PM

not the greatest picture but, they're 33-36 Ford lights with original Chevy mounting brackets.

McCoyAZ · 09-13-2011, 03:21 PM

I really like the idea of frenching in a set of 93 Cadillac Seville taillights into the side panels at the rear of a stepside.

Might even look good if they were turned sideways and located under the tailgate.
