They are original style tail lights. They were originally mounted off the corner post. Just cut a hole in the pan for the lights and used the mounting brackets that were mounted off the corner post and mounted under the bed. I used a piece of chrome door edge moulding around the hole to finish it off.

On a raised letter panel you can take a small paint roller, put the paint on a piece of card board and roll through the paint till you have the roller almost to a dry point then roll on the raised panel, you won't have any run and the paint will level out as it dries and you can pin stripe around or just leave it, sometimes it takes more than one coat to cover ---BUT--- do not use too much paint on the roller at a time, all it will paint is the raised part of the panel and looks great, Garry
Does anyone know how Ford painted the letters in 53-56? Was it with a roller? And what color were the letters? Where they white for dark colored trucks and black for light colored trucks?
