The lights are 39 ford tear drop tail lights.Some time I need to redo them because they are not real visible while driving.But they look good on it though.

Nice work. I've always liked the front of those trucks. The designer was very creative.

To be honest the color is 1976 ford bright red. My brother painted his van this color and I decided that was the color for my truck. He wasn't to happy but I got my way.

Very nice truck, were you able to order the front end "chrome" pcs or did you have to send them off? Thanks for the pics.

Thankyou, you have a real sharp truck there, and not many around.
Our headlight doors and parklamp bezels are in great re-chroming shape. A local guy that does bumpers only said the grille surround would be a challenge due to small dings and dents. again, great job.
