The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Panels 'N Burbs Exterior "bullet-style" Turn Signal Placement??

Hello,
How can you know the placement of those exterior "bullet-style" turn signals some trucks have?

There is the location where the factory would mount them, then there is everywhere else. Attached is the factory guide for mounting them.

Adding the pdf - Awesome!

I was wondering, does anyone know the background story on those rear side tail lights?

I heard that those lights were used on the center of the rear roof to offer illumination when a panel was making a delivery in an alley and the fully open doors would block the side lights. Leo (53 Panel) advised me to make sure the placement ensures the doors fully open without hitting the lights.

That's good thinking Rusty and Leo!

The bullet lights I purchased for my 1953 panel were actually from a 1938/1939 Oldsmomile. They looked identical except they were about an inch longer. They mated up perfectly and yes, be sure they don't interfere with the doors.
