Frenching cadillac tail lights into a step side

Curious as to whether anyone has successfully done this to their step side...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/89-93-Cadill...a75dbf&vxp=mtr

love the look with a roll pan but not sure if I am that brave... 3 1/2 inches deep - that's gotta be pressing it... any thoughts?

Re: Frenching cadillac tail lights into a step side

I have the cut out in the driver rear fender for the spare - looking at yours makes me want to replace it with a full - and is that a relocated gas tank in the rear? Keep me posted on what you hear as far as dimensions - I have blown hours pouring over posts in this forum - no wonder I see some of the guys referring to their truck as the mistress... have own my 64 a month and wife is already getting pissed lol

Re: Frenching cadillac tail lights into a step side

These are a kit I found. After reading your post, were thinking of doing this to a 61 fleetside.
