Frenched stepper short taillights? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone converted their stepper tail lights and frenched them into the rear fenders?
Pics and methods?
Thanks,

Thanks, KayCee- the other search I did, and found almost nothing, was on tail lights. This time I did taillights and found a hole slug of good info.
Thanks,

the PO of my truck put Vega tail lights and Frenched them in. The person that done it did such a good job I've decided to leave them.

I will try and get some pics.

Cool, thanks

Not in the fenders

slowtruck · 11-29-2007, 10:24 PM

this is the best I could find for now.

That is exactly what I was hoping for. I like this a LOT more than having them just hanging out in space the way they do.
Any idea what year Vega?

Those look to be a '71, 2, or 3 Vega. The tailllights got a lot bigger after that.

I've seen '59 Caddy Bullets in a Stepper.They were frenched in with some type tubing.It's been a while since I saw that truck and i have no pics.I think there were 2 to a side.I thought it was not the best mod since the custom mod did not match the era.

slowtruck · 12-17-2007, 02:58 PM

I'm sorry I forgot about this tread...

I've been meaning to get better pics, so I did. The PO had them installed and at first I was going to get rid of them, but the installer done a quality job on them and I think my buddy would kill me if I did remove them.I do have some plans for them like replace the lens with a smooth one ( I have not figured out a good way yet) and build an LED setup for them.

WinDancer · 12-18-2007, 04:35 PM

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!
Thanks for the pics- exactly what I am hoping to do.

Nice, clean job!
Did you buy them with the tunneling buckets or?

duane67c-10 · 12-21-2007, 01:35 PM

in custom classic trucks i saw 66 mustang tail lights frenched in the rear fenders, they looked pretty good, almost like they came factory.
