Local custom cycle shop, $20 ea. I have seen them all over ebay.
I hooked one up already and they look SICK!

Here's a pic of mine. NSANE--Those are THE coolest lights I've ever seen.

Maybe putting our fleetside tail lights in a roll pan underneath? Ya think someone could photoshop that? Wootdog

67cst · 07-25-2003, 10:05 PM

chevy2racr · 07-25-2003, 10:43 PM

someone on here did some badass work to theback ofhis stepside and molded lights into his(wha used to be stock) stake pocket boxes(or whatever they are called) I think you know what I mean, who was it?

Iron Cross Light on eBay

AKA: MALTESE CROSS

67cst · 07-26-2003, 04:06 PM

thanks for the addy, i need 2 though! i wonder if there are any places online that sells them besides e bay

jay-dawg · 07-26-2003, 05:11 PM

I had the same idea in mind. I also wanted to use the maltese cross mirrors but I think I'll stick with the stockers.

JHickson6 · 07-26-2003, 05:53 PM

i know www.mooneyesusa.com has mirrors with the Iron Cross, check them out they might have lights too or they can probably aim you to someone that does if they don't.

I seem to remember someone using the tall, slim Caddy tail lights that looked pretty cool. Here is a link to a local company that makes custom housings for frenching in tail lights.

There's a '67 plum/maroon swb stepside running around town with a set of 60-66 fleetside tail lights.

It looks pretty sweet frenched into the rear of the fenders.

I'd do it.

My $0.02:

LED lights are ~$25 ea from Buytruckstuff . Add two pieces of 16ga sheet metal and about a week of grinding, welding and bending and you get this:

BTW: You can't see it too well in this shot, but the lights are slightly recessed into the stakepocket.

highboy_04 · 07-28-2003, 01:04 PM

has anyone tried the elcamino bumper thing on a fleetside truck?

mcmlxix · 07-30-2003, 02:16 PM
