Tail lights on Ad
I want to put 32-37 Ford tail lights on my Ad. Anyone that has done this how did you attach them? Pictures would be great.

Re: Tail lights on Ad
I used those on my 53. Sorry, I don't have any good pictures of the inside of the cutout in the stake pocket where the lights are mounted. We did two nuts for the mounting screws welded to the backside/inside of holes in the curved cutout "plate." There is also a hole for the wiring to pass through, of course.

Re: Tail lights on Ad
very slick work on the lights...the little running board between rear fender and bumper is a nice touch.....was that low hole in the fender a woopsie?

Haha, yeah, kind of a woopsie there. That was where I originally wanted the gas filler, but once it was cut in and on the truck with all the other sheet metal, I looked at it for a good 20 minutes and decided it needed to be further up on the fender. I hated to make the change because it required more work, but ultimately I felt it needed to be "just right" and might as well go ahead and do it before the paint went on. I might have had a couple of those kind of woopsies as the truck went together...
