Help Me Identify These Tailights

Hi guys,

I'm new here. I have a 1956 F100 that has been modified by the previous owner. They have a set of taillights I am not familiar with. Here is one pic for now. I'll have more when the trucks arrives at my house on the transport. I'd appreciate any help identifying them.

Thank You

Great idea for tail light alternative. And you can readily buy new replacement lenses, gaskets and bevels for these as well.

Great looking truck. I love the way the bed brace was incorporated into the design of the rear.

The parts are out there, but "readily" available is a relative term. You'll have to do your homework, and some of the people that have them think they're worth more than they are, so be careful where you shop. But the Buick tail lights, and similar Pontiac parts, were very popular custom items in the 50's, which explains their popularity.
