Thanks, Rick

wibilly · 09-19-2007, 11:03 PM

i don't have any pics right now but i got a parts truck that po cot the rear of fenders and put the round lights for a semi trailer in. they are rubber and mount flush. they look pretty good i think

i did have one

kyull67 · 09-19-2007, 11:22 PM

Here's mine. I can't take credit for it though. The PO frenched in a set of 1940's chevy pickup tailights.
As for the above picture

Maybe one on each fender would look okay.

wibilly · 09-20-2007, 12:12 AM

yea i agree after looking at them it's too much i haven't seen that end of that truck for some time. it is just sitting out in the woods and donating parts from time to time. yours looks very cool i like it alot

Those mustang lights have always bugged me. They don't fit the truck at all.

**PICKMUP** · 09-20-2007, 01:30 PM

Some things are just best left alone! LOL
Actually, some of the smaller, earlier GM truck TLs look good...and they are available new repro reasonable.
The repro of our original TLs and brackets, in stainless, hold up well because they can't rust and no worry about paint chipping/pealing.

To fit like the jwill41's above, you have to have the bumper cut and narrowed (then rechromed. I have always liked that look on the stepside. You can also paint it to match after cutting like below

I had a picture that showed a stock uncut (narrowed) one, but I can't find it right now. That was the way I was originally going when mine was a stepside.

swiny20 · 09-20-2007, 10:58 PM

Here's mine,the truck was done in the 80's by my grandfather, I'm not sure what they are out of though.

retselgerg · 09-21-2007, 12:28 AM

could i get some pic's of your truck, like to add them to my collection

Mudder · 09-21-2007, 03:37 AM

Mine are stock and it's important to me for people from behind me to see me when I am stopping.

I hope you were refering to my truck, but heres some more pics

sneakysnake · 09-21-2007, 09:51 AM

Must have been a 80's thing LOL I have some gills too.

I chopped a 68 impala bumper down with the lights for mine.

Brock · 09-21-2007, 03:12 PM

OK...ya got me thinkin' (which often gives me a headache)...I have to replace my lights also, even the brackets are all beat up. I could go back original but...

Please don't shoot, remember I'm just THINKING...what do you guys think about using VW Bug tail lights and mounting them on the rear fenders? The contour should be pretty close, wiring wouldn't be that hard

bowtieboy93 · 09-21-2007, 04:13 PM

i was flipping through an old truckin' magazine and one guy put deville taile lights in on either side of the tailgate where the stake pocket columns are

68Stepbed · 09-24-2007, 08:51 AM

60-66 style lights moved down to the backup light location.
