I didnt know that there was an original thread or it had ever been discussed, I was just reading along and saw this one, and it was in danger of falling off first page, so I bumped it cuz I was interested, sorry Eric

Milli1on thanks for posting those links. Unfortunately none were what I am talking about, I tried searching and could not find the thread. This post I am referring to a guy was talking about making an actual LED unit that would replace the lens and all on the 73-79 pickups and Bronco.
Maybe we can generate some interest butI wouldn't know who to contact...

I think I know the one you ared talking about. Some marketing company that made taillights for chevy trucks etc already. I spent a few minutes looking and could not find it either. Maybe someone with some time could find it. The guys address etc was in his posts.

Christ almighty! Something is really haywire with our search engine or I'm just too retarded to figure it out. Anyway, here's the original thread:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=194613
Looks like his original website is down and the new website is more to do with electronics, not really with tail lights.

That is the thread I was thinking of.
I bet the linked " tail light " was messing with the search.
It looks like the guy went out of business at ccled.com
That other site jmcled.com is a design/manufacturing firm that does not seem to have any connection to the original poster that I can see.
-Another "flash in the pan"...

Too bad too, I thought he was actually going to do it. Would have been a great idea for a tail light. Looks like it went in the bin with the one piece door glass and all the aftermarket add-ons for our trucks.

Here is a link to a large red led single 1/2" led with a 1157 base. I did a taillight conversion on my 1960 F100 by using clear lenses from the front of a 57-58 f100 truck
and adding bluedots, so now I have a clear taillight with bluedots and red bulbs...bulbs are on order so we will see what happens when I get them in...then when truck is done we will see about the legal side of things as it is a clear lens with no red..

I will be using LEDs for tail park turn and stop lights but I don't know what configuration yet. I may buy bulbs or I may make my own. There is another thread here that talks about fabricating some taillight units, not one of those listed above. Those are good tho
I can't see using anything but an LED anymore...
Besides it frees up extra power for that monster sub and amp

The guy that was designing the taillights works at the design/manufacturing firm that has the website jmcled.com (JMC is his initials and I'm willing to take a stab at what LED stands for). I emailed him last January to ask if he was going to make lights for the flareside. His reply back was:
"Thanks for the inquiry. If there is enough of a demand for them, I will certainly be making them. Right now I don't think I will be starting ford truck probably for a month or so. I am waiting on my contact @ National Parts Depot. Once he starts sending me the housings and lenses I will get started."
Unfortunately, I just got orders shipping me overseas (I'm in the military) so I won't be needing the lights for about 3 years. My brother gets my truck till I get back.
