Re: looking for tail lights suggestions for a 55 first series

I've got a '54 and I've been wondering the same thing.
I'm thinking of going the LED route and fabbing into the roll pan.
Maybe even do a 3rd brake light LED style in the top of the tailgate.
I figure by modifying a roll pan would be best. That way if I wanted to
go back to the original look, the roll pan can be easily replaced.
Here's a cpl images i've found.

I don't know about backup lights but I am a fan of the stock lights (painted or Stainless) like the yellow truck above.

I'm like the stock looking ones too but was hoping I could see some with a backup light but that small I might be asking for too much, might have to find something small in the middle if that's where mount my plate,
