The two screw versions of the 73-9 trucks are the most popular around here (FTE), and there are a lot more of these trucks on the road than earlier trucks.

I'm sure that Motorhaven (the company that supports this site) would be interested in carrying the lights as well.

Jmac05. you may want to correct the typo on your website.

L.E.D.s have no filament, they work my exciting photons with electricity inside the bulb, and producing light.

I believe the word "my" is supossed to be "by"

Just a little business tip

After the tail-lite mod, then we're going to attach '57 deSoto fins on the bed. Whadaythink about that? Next will be flamethrowers for the pipes out the back for those morons who think they have to tail-gate.... yeah buddy --- flip a swith and monstrous 20 foot flames shoot out the back side....I can see them slowing down and back off REAL QUICK....heh heh heh...did somebody say I had a mean streak?....

Also maybe you should make LED lights for the 73 to 79 stepsides because the factory trailer style lights are ugly.

i think there was typo early in this thread. one post said 67-73.5 which is wrong. it is 64-72 (although technically the 64/6 is a slightly different lens but they do swap) the 73 up to some time in 74 had a metal backing with a removeable lens and then early in 74 ford switched to the one piece plastic lamp assembly where the lens is attached to the backing. the 73 style is manufactured just like the 72 and older but it is a larger lens and backing like the 74-79 so the 72 and older will not fit. most people with 73-79 have the one piece lamp as they are all that has been available since 74 as it was a running change and ford deleted the earlier assembly as soon as supplies were depleted. hawkrod

if you are working on the rear tail lights for 73-9 F series, and 78-9 Bronco, how about eventually working on front marker lights?????? might that be in the works?
