    My truck is painted and someone stole my tail lights while it was apart. I am trying to figure out what to use that is pretty much a bolt in. I really don't want to paint it again. I had a friend accidentally back it into a fence already.
    It's about 4 1/2" Diameter. The one's I had were unknown but not stock. I really don't want to go stock on it. Thanks.

    i mess with a lot of these trucks. looks like the hole is still the stock configuration. just get the basic pick-up / early van / breadtruck taillight buckets and use whatever lenses you like. the stock lenses use 2 screws, but it's a nice flat flange, ez to modify.
     

  5. A Signalstat turn signal lens fits the original bucket, front and rear are the same size. Drill holes for screws or stick it in with silicone.
