Wha?!? Have you ever seen that truck? It's military themed, the PT-57. The tail lights are modeled after a rank insignia. That truck is beyond badass!

Yes they are flush. They are just welded in, still have to do a little mud work around them.

Re: any good stepside tail light Ideas ?

I went with 58-59 chevy lenses and stainless bezels on my 60-66 stainless cups. I like the polished bezel better than the 63 plain red lens w/o bezel

Re: any good stepside tail light Ideas ?

I have the same 58-59 chevy lenses and stainless bezels only I used the 58-59 cups. I love the tail light sticking out. I just wish I could figure out a way to run the wires thought the bracket that are holding them on or even adding cadillac tail tight lenses to the cups.

Re: any good stepside tail light Ideas ?

I believe the cups are the same. I didn't have to do any mods to put the lenses and bezels on. Just 2 screws and went in the same as the 60-66 lenses. They do make a stainless steel conduit that looks pretty good. I have never used it though.

Both your ideas sound nice. I simply bought the bright stainless with LED's to go in original position and like them very well. Also used the original back-up assy's to fit in the 66-only rear fenders having factory depressions made for them. TO EACH HIS OWN--BY ALL MEANS USE WHAT SUITS YOU.

Re: any good stepside tail light Ideas ?

Bump for any other ideas? These are great but has anyone tried doing a light where it's mounted to a fuel door for hidden fuel filler in fender?
