Tail Lights...Integrated?

We have a 1958 F 100 that my boys and I are rebuilding. We have finished rewiring and everything working except for when you hook up the tail lights they stay on regardless of whether key is on etc. All grounds seem good, we have it hooked up as an integrated tail light, blinker/brake because thats how it came to us. Anybody know if these original sockets are integrated or not? The bulb thats in it is a two filament bulb. We do not have turn signal wires hooked up yet because putting in new steering column but I don't think that would cause this issue? IDK, any advice is welcomed. Thanks, Ross

Are you using the original pressure switch on the master cylinder? If so it might be stuck causing the brake lights to stay on constantly.

I agree. One of the first things I had to replace after my original shake down run. Stuck on.

Hey gang, sorry for the delay. Switch was good but we had the wire on the wrong post on the light switch. Thanks a bunch and sorry for the delay!

If this is a Styleside, the tail lamp lenses thread into the tail lamp bodies that contain 'swagged in' sockets with wiring.

The Styleside tail lamp lenses and the bodies (B7C-13434-A Right & B7C-13435-A Left) are the same: 1957/60 F100/350; 1961/65 F100/250 4WD; 1961/66 F350; 1966 F250 4WD

The lenses are also the same as 1961/67 Econoline pickups and vans (with round lenses).
