Panel Truck Rear Signal lamp (Tail Light) - just a converted bullet lamp over the doors

The lights look good, Alvin. I might have missed this, but are they tail light or combination (tail/signal or tail/brake)?


Wow, I love this idea, I was thinking about adding a 3rd brake light to my '57 Suburban... Anyone knows if this would work on a TF Panel/Burb?
My first idea was to use the light you find on the back of the cab of a modern pick-up truck with one red bulb for 3rd brake light and 2 white bulbs to light the box at night: these 2 white bulbs would be nice back up lights, also pretty useful if your truck is a daily driver...
