Thread: 1955 Chevy taillights

thank you... I looked very closely at the back up light assemblys and the hole in the tail panal is not that big at all.. won't take much to close them up.

These are not as good as I thought I could do, but you may get an idea.
Top to bottom 8 1/4" close side to side bottom 5 1/2” depth bottom 4" this may give you something to start with, my passenger side is rough so these are close measurements.

This is what I was talking about with the 51 ply. I would think a set of 39 ford lights would look good.

If you see this one, it's for you, update,

This to let you know the visitor is still here. He thinks he has taken charge now.

My Sister finally got released from the hospital she is doing a lot better, now they think it may have been food poisoning!!


Richard

My opinion would be to stay away from the 39 tear drops. My experience with them in a Mullins trailer and on a 39 Ford, is that they have to be mounted perpendicular to the road other wise they will be hard to see from behind. (and really so if you use blue dots). The new LED ones are much brighter but again they shouldn't be mounted on an angle (LED's are directional lights). 39 teardrops are really cool, but I prefer being seen from behind and at a distance of more than 20 feet.

The tail lights of a 55 should be work really well for you. They have LED's for them as well.

Richard, really glad to hear that she is out and that they think that may have been the problem. Food poisoning isn't pleasant, but sure better than lots of other stuff.

Yep, your visitor looks like it has taken over the house for sure. I know the feeling..........I wanted to take a nap on the couch this afternoon but Lucky and Chewy were all sprawled out and I didn't have the heart to disturb them.
