The Hole In The End Of The Top Bed Rail??

This is the only way I know how to describe it..them. On my 67 stepside i'm wanting to put lights in these holes at the end of the top rails above tailgate..If I'm making since I would like to see what other folks have done with these holes besides leave them original..I see plugs that can be installed and i see lights also..I'm definately gonna put lights but haven't decided if they will be turn signals, back ups(remove ones at tail lights) or additional brake lights..
So, if you got'em please let me see'em....Thanks!!

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

If I was going to do something like this I think I would sink them in till flush with the metal edges or possibly even French them in some. You could put a screw in the lights housing from the underside of the rolled edge.

....ok thanks guys, I know where to find them, I was just hoping that some members that have installed them would show me how they look with the original tail lights and what they use them for.
