I'm building a flatbed for my '56 3600.
I'm trying to stay as close to oem as possible, rounded corners etc.
What type of clearance lights were most popular in the 50's?
I'm thinking the "beehive" type mounted on the corners.
your thoughts?

that's what I've seen on OE flatbeds, too. Although, I seem to recall the guard was thicker and chromed, or at least they aere on the trucks I've seen locally. You might try hitting the salvage yards to get originals.
