That looks pretty good, thanks for the pics. I think I'm going that route for sure.
Much appreciated!

I've been working on a set in a friend of mine's 90 truck. IMO they look better recessed than flush, a nice touch if you like that sort of thing. I was going to use them on my stepper but decided to do some LEDs instead

Haven't installed them yet but I got the idea I think from someone here. I'm going to flush mount 10.5" LEDs in the rear stake pocket tubes

OIC You mean what LEDs means. They're just a red strip, 10.5" long and about .5"wide that you can flush mount pretty much anywhere.

I was cornfused I'll dig up a pic to give you an idea.
Edit: Did a quicky paint, to give you an idea. I plan to paint over them so they're not visable unless they're on

Dang it! I knew I was gonna like that better.... I bet I could just weld covers over my taillight holes and put a couple of those side by side behind it? That would look sweet.

Thanks for showing me!

No prob, I think that'd look sweet. I think they look more custom than the caddy lights.

I always thought those caddy tails would look good on their side in a roll pan.
