    I was thinking of using 59 caddy tail lights over the centers of the tail lights on my '64 Falcon, but before i drop 40 bucks to order a set, I'd like to get some dimensions (preferably the dimensions of the repops Speedway sells) to make sure what i want to do will work. So if someone could give me both the INSIDE and OUTSIDE diameters, and the length I'd appreciate the hell out of it.

    Thanks!

    PS, Ive seen the caddy tails used used for centers plenty on the roundbody cars, but does anyone have pics or info oon/of them being used in the '64/65 Falcons?

    Ones I have aren't Speedway but I'll post their dimensions anyway.

    2 5/8" ID at base
    2 7/8" OD at base
    5 5/8 long

    These measurements are for the lens itself without the decorative metal escutcheon ring.

    I did them on mine.

    I cut the center cylinder out of the stock lens and put the caddy light in from the back.
