I know this is more work than what you were looking at, but I'm just thinking out loud. I wonder how it would look if the tail lights were painted to match the paint scheme of the truck, including the pinstriping with those lights in it and then with the round lights in it.

After 1968 front side markers were federally mandated. I'm not sure what year rear ones were.
