Projects RPU Taiight ideas

I'm turning my t bucket into a RPU and I have made the bed but now I need to figure out what to do about the taillights. So my question is what have y'all done for taillights? Or what have you seen that looks good? Pics would be nice thanks. Here are some pics of what I have so far.

I used 47 Fords

 

I used a set of these that were available at Harley dealers on a recessed roll pan under the bed of my 36 Chev p/u.

the can be surface,or frenched....mine were surface mounted.

Check out 60-62 Chevy Corvair tail lights

 

Id think some 37 fords w trimmed down buckets on the corners would look real good

 

I used 37 Ford tail lights on my pickup. HRP

 

Do the 37 ford tail light housings just mount to the side of the bed?

 

'32 Ford Tail Light Brackets with Model A Tail Lights and STOP lenses..

 

Any pics of this combination on something? I did a search and didn't find anything.

 

How about 58 Chevy tail lights?

 

'54 Plymouth taillights turned on their sides would look good.

 

Yeah,but I drilled a extra hole in the housing and made a spacer to shim the cone shaped back to kept the light straight. HRP

 

On the model a and 37 taillights does one side have the license plate light in it? I notice when I look them up it has them listed for a specific side.

 

If you could find a nice pair of these Hudson taillights, they would look good, and you would run people crazy trying to guess what they came off of.

 

Not a problem,,you can purchase them in reproduction and buy two without the tag light built in. HRP

 

I am building a T-bucket roadster pickup. I am using 39 Chevy taillights. My bed is cut down from a 40's Studebaker 8 foot bed. the bed is now 26" long.I mounted the taillights on the rear bed uprights.

 

Ya those look nice. Thanks for the pics

 

Anyone else have some pictures of nice taillight setups?

 

I made my own alloy brackets with new Model A units on my 26T.I wanted to use 32 mounts but they just wouldnt work for me. There are some great ideas ubove. JW

 

i machined some brackets to hang mine below

 

Here's what I made for my '31 Tudor many years ago. Simple stainless 10 ga. sheet bracket:

 

Model A taillights, only with F*** U lenses instead of the STOP lenses. Give tailgaters the message without saying a word or raising a finger LOL.

 

'34's mounted out to the side.

 

My 27 uses 36 Ford pickup brackets with same lights.

 

Here.
