67-72 Taillights in 65-66 Bezels?

Post by ryanjay11 »

I picked up a pair of 67-72 taillight lenses and housings to use with my 1965 F100. I'm going to wire up the reverse lights to work with my ZF-5 Transmission.

I'd like to get a set of original 65-66 bezels for my truck.

Does anyone have a photo of 67+ taillights in in a 65/66 housing?

I'm not sure I understand your question but......

The housing (metal back that bulbs mount in) are interchangeable between the '56/66 and '67/72. '65/66 didn't have reverse lights so if you want the reverse lights, you need to use both the housing and the lenses from the '67-72.

The '65/66 trim (bezels?) screw to the bed end cap so those should work fine with either tail light.

I guess the question didn't come out right.

If someone has a 67+ taillights on their 65/66 with the 65/66 bezels, I'd like to see a picture of how it looks.

I already have the 67-72 lenses and housings. Surely someone has done this before. I'd like to see how it looks before I order the 65/66 bezels.

Got it -
I am planning to do the same but they are not installed yet so I can't get a picture for you.
(But it should look just like stock except for the white portion of the lens for the reverse lights. )

I've been running them in mine for the past 18 years, but I can't post a photo because of some blood-sucking photo demons wanting to get rich..... :x

All of the photos I post on this forum are hosted by this website. It’s a bit of a pain to go back and upload all of your old images, but the process is pretty straightforward for doing a few at a time. It’s under user control panel > gallery
