    It seems like nobody makes taillight stands for the 37 Ford taillights ! Especially that will fit on a 32 Ford . So , well you know what next has to be done ! Here's a start of making the stands !

    A little more welding and there done. Drill a extra hole in the stand for the wires to come out . They will mount on the rear frame side to the spreader bar bolt holes on the 32 ford

    Looks pretty good, I have to come up with something for the rear of my RPU as I have a pair of the same lights.

    I think mine will be slightly different.

    I also have 2 with no licence light as my plate will be mounted elsewhere.

    Cool Bert , working on the license plate frame today on the light. All bolt on. Trying to decide if I'm gona like it !!!
     
  8. I just got done doing the same thing... I made a oval form the size needed and heated / bent a 3/4" strap around this form. welded the ends together. then cut a thin plate to fit inside the ovals , welded them in, marked holes in these "filler plates" for the machine screws to hold the light assy. then welded the screws to the back side of the filler plate. Then I welded this assy. to the side of the body after LOTS of measuring to make sure they are straight. The light can then be bolted on and removed from the car and stand by working inside the light housing without removing the interier of the car when that gets done. AND no visable bolts mounting the lights.

    Started on the License plate bracket today. Took a couple hours but finally got it done and I really liked it. Kinda went a little backwards but it was worth it in the end . Had the radius arm on the plate bracket it looked to long , so I took 2 " out of it . The last pic you can compair the plate bracket shortened up ! Now I'm happy with it ! Hope the cover I made will reflect the light on the plate ! The 1/4" bolts on the light that hold the plate bracket on the light ,I will replace with button head allens

    Worked on the headlight stands today to get the 34 truck lights on them. They have a 5/8" shaft instead of the 1/2" shaft most lights have. So a little work was involved . . !!!
