81 f250 light issues
Okay im just gonna go over the all the lighting issues i have and see if yall can point me in the right direction.
I have a 81 f250 4wd 4 speed. First off i bought it with no bed so it has aftermarket taillights on it.
it has one bulb on each side for brakes and turn signals. When i get a bed for how is the oem setup?
where is the reverse light at ? Ill have pictures later that ill post. And also the hazards arent working . And last the thing is my turn signals work but its super loose . So please any info on any of these

I am almost 100% sure both style side & flare side lights use the 1 bulb on each side like the lights you have now with the after market lights.
IIRC the style side is at the top of the light assy. but not 100% on that one.
Flare side light I also think it is in the housing at the top. Best would be to Google the 2 beds to look at the lights.
I am wrong the B/U light is down low
There is a 2nd flasher for 4 ways. One is on the back side of the fuse box.
Turn signal switch screws could be loose. Only way to know is pull the wheeland give a look see.

Cab & Chassis (no back of cab equipment) came with the same ^ taillights as Flareside pickups.
OP's 1981 F250 has no bed, but it may never have had a Styleside bed.
If sold new as a Cab & Chassis, a flat or stake bed or utility body or box van (bobtail) body may have been installed, using these same tail lights.

Gary's site has the EVTM so you can see how the wiring came out of the factory:
