1963 Tail lights
How come some of the tail lights I see for the 63 F100 are round? Mine for instance, are round, but I have seen other 63's (most of them) that have the more oblong shape. Just curious

They probably kept it in use to keep engineering costs down a bit, but nowadays I think its to give the 57-60 truck owners a larger pool of options for their beds.
