Re: Step Side tail lights

Not bad at all, although I would like to see a round light molded on the fenders instead of whats on there but I like the look.

Re: Step Side tail lights

I like the concept and they look exceptionally well executed, but the lens seems undersize and more compatible with a 49 Ford than a stepside fender. But this may have been exactly what the owner desired. 50 Pontiac blinkers mounted in the same fashion might look good, being a little bigger and somewhat hot rod and custom car oriented.

Re: Step Side tail lights

Not my cup-O-tea, but not bad. I'm trying to decide weather to use 50 pontiac or 63 Corvette on my step side.

Re: Step Side tail lights

Thanks for your input I'm going to look at the 50 Pontiac I think they would look good as long as I dont mount them flush does anyone have a picture of the Pontiac or 63 Corvette.

Re: Step Side tail lights

I saw a set of 72 Gremlin tail lights mounted in a 73 step side and I thought they looked good.
