There shouldn't be any marker lights on the bed, at least not from the factory. The trucks originally had only one stop light (on the left side of the bed). You just need a 6v bulb for the lights. The wiring doesn't matter.

Oh I did not know that those lights did not come from the factory that way, thank you. But the only problem is that the old light sockets that are on the truck no longer exist, they kind of rusted away. And all of the 12 volt light sockets will not accept a 6 volt light bulb. Is there any way I could fix these problems? Do they make a 12 volt light socket that will accept a 6 volt round bulb?? Thank you again and have a great day!

Ok, so here is an update on those non split rims that I was trying to find for my truck. It turned out the 1950 Ford F6 had a bad rear end, so that I got to looking for a rear end for my truck too. I had found a few wrecking yards that had just a rear end for sale for $300. Then I found a very nice elderly man that had about 4 or 5 of these old trucks, he had a parts truck that he was trying to get rid of, so he sold me the rear end, a front axle and 7 of the 20" lock ring type tires for $300.00 total. Just though I would fill you all in on what I found. Thank You all for your help and have a great day! Sorry for such a long post.
