    How about some rear view pics of some buckets.
    Thinking of running Model A style tail lights on mine, but would like to see some others. Not into that whole trailer light/mustang light cut into the bed look

    What y'all got?

    I’m partial to ‘53 Ford truck lights. Model A truck taillight brackets also work on for these lights.

    Can't find any pictures, but on my old "T" with a shortened "A" pickup bed, I ran two '53 Buick taillights. They are very similar to the classic '50 Pontiac units, but the lenses are deeper and more pointed.

    Do like they did in 60's - 70's. Use some of those old early T gas lit cowl lamps but of course converted into taillights. I havent seen it done in years so it will be way more unique than Model A.

    Hello,

    This t bucket is seen almost every weekend cruising around So Cal. Events that are big and small are a great showcase for this well built t-bucket. The carriage lamps were items seen on the early t-buckets cruising around back when we were teenagers and 20 somethings. They are not for all tastes, but has ties and links to the original carriages from back in time.

    seen at the South Orange County Cars and Coffee among other events in So Cal weekly/monthly. The hot rod gets around So Cal.... "Round, round, get around, I get around" plays nicely with this hot rod.
