I noticed that it has some cool taillights on it. Does anyone know where these taillights come from? Go here to see the pics. It's the first two. The rest are my old PU. http://s676.photobucket.com/albums/vv127/davisears/?albumview=slideshow | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,031 |

I was in a little shock to see that e-bay picture Rat Fink posted. I thought maybe, possible I would be the only person in this entire world with the Idea of putting those Tail lights on My fleetside (it's a stretch i know). But since somebody already has done it and I haven't yet installed mine cause I've been waiting to get all my body work done I will tell you..As long as everybody keeps it a secret cause I don't want a whole bunch Of fleets running around with these tail lights on.......drum roll... They are from a 1955 Oldsmobile 98...............Real Rat Fink you owe me one  JOSH

The cat is out of the bag and I'm gonna find me a pair for my fleetside! But I promise I won't tell anyone:) | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | what is the difference between a 55-56 olds 88 tail lights compared to the ones on the 98?

On the 1955 88 model the taillight is almost the same but I (THINK) its missing the 2 small chrome medallion pieces that are next to the cone, if you look at the picture Rat Fink posted you will see what I mean..hope that helps...............JOSH | | | | | Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 84 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 84 | Who's telling him not to do it? | | |
