I know there were others around including JC and maybe Pat when Cam was talking about them but I could've sworn he said that they might have been a dealer installed item.

Starting to look good! There must be a lot of old slicks out your way, since they keep following you home

If someone got these backup lights from a place like JCW and installed them, they did a heck of a job. After looking at Low Tech (my wife's '65 F100) and my '64, the rear of the 1/4 panels on her truck are rounded a little and on my '64 they are recessed (concaved) a little for the lights. Also, the cutouts for the lights and mounting holes are very neatly done.

I will take photos of these areas tomorrow and post them.

Thanks, Alfs64! There are alt least 5 in my area that have been sitting for quite a while. I dare not drive by them with an empty trailer...

I to find the diameter of these backup lights to see if they will work on my '64.

Looks good on the internet!

Hope it looks as good in person. Sounds like you are happy with it, and thats what matters.

I like that!
Has me thinking Acadian Blue & Viking Blue would look good together too - Hmmmm.
Some nice gloss black wheels with baby moons would look real good with those colors too.
