Title: Stepside fender/tail light question
Post by: nucknoel89 on October 16, 2008, 05:01:11 pm: Has anyone ever put fleetside tail lights on a stepside? I prefer those to the stepside ones and even though the curves etc. wouldn't exactly line up, I'm sure one could blend the tail light holder (is that what it's called?) curve into the fender curve. Does anyone have a pic of this? If not do you think it would look good or bad?

I've seen those in the Brother's and catalogs. What would you do about reverse lights?
