Where to buy these taillights?

I'm looking for these taillights to fit my '62 F100 with a '57-'60 bed. All I have is the picture. Do you know where these can be bought?

Try looking on the Taillight King website... www.taillightking.com
My guess is that these are a custom lens setup from a 57 Ford...the 64 Galaxie also has a lens similar. That bullet looks more like it's off an Olds though.

Take a close look at them and see if they are made up.
Is the bullet glued into the center of another lens?

I found those on eBay after you posted them here. I was thinking about it and then realized that my truck has 3 screws for mounting the lens, not four like that one. Looks like most have 4.

Hey Jeff i'm still kicking around here almost every evening, i'm just in the '61-'66 side. But my bed is from this side so I thought i'd post here. A guy came up from Colorado to get the couple of boxes of misc. I had left from my '51. I told him about this place and he said he was going to join up.

I'm looking at the site but it doesn't want to load the Ford page for me.

I dunno but I considered doing that myself, seems like it could be made to look pretty good. Maybe with some '59 Caddy lights.

Not sure why you can't get to the Ford pages but here is a pic of the 57 lens on that site...bullet is shorter but style looks close.

That's close enough for me. I still can't get to the Ford page. It blinks on for a second and then goes blank, the others work though. I'll try again tomorrow.
