Hey all! Long time to talk! I am working on the burb again. Our weather is much nicer now and I am going strong. Quick question to the burb-ite's: I need a rear tail light for the burb, can I use a 54-55 light with the license plate lens underneath? Is it the same? It sure looks similar in the catalogs? Let me know, if anybody has a housing or knows of where there is one, let me know

Thanks again, hope everybody is doing well.

The tail lights are different in size and the way they are wired. I am not sure about the mounting studs, they may be a wider pattern than the suburban light.

I can't help you with the tail light, but it's good to hear you're back on it.

'54-55 pickup tail lights did not have an integral license plate light.
