TTT for ya. I don't "need" reverse lights in Louisiana, but I would like them if they wouldn't look too bad.

I like vintage Stepside tail lamps.Like,`53 or earlier.Mount them down near the bumper.Hide bright lights behind the bumper aimed at the ground for reverse.These trucks only came with one backup light.

Don't know about reverse lights yet but I may try a set of these for my tail/stop/turn lights http://www.gemstreetrods.com/led_tail_lights.htm. If anyone has any thoughts on the LED lights let me know.

Although, I don't know if i have to have reverse lights in Illinois. Guess i need to check on that one to be sure.

Thanks for the info. How about 90's Cadilac tail lights? would they fit in the spot next to the tailgate?

so everyone here has stock tail lights?

I want to use the 55-59 tail lights like tim christian did with the stock bumper. I was thinking that maybe you could put some small driving lights like the "custom" front bumpers for our trucks and use them as reverse lights. Or you could possibly put a few superbright leds on the sides of the license plate but still on the bracket itself, that way they would be pretty much un-noticable until they came on. Just throwing some ideas out there.
