TAILLIGHT QUESTION PILOTHOUSE TRUCKS

Yah I've never seen a pass side one in the wild....I'd guess even more rare than the B3/4 sheetmetal pass mirror arm. -
TAILLIGHT QUESTION PILOTHOUSE TRUCKS
ggdad1951 replied to jcnida52's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
First off, stock trucks did not come with a passenger side taillight. They COULD be added I'd guess and either the plate light could just shine down or be blocked of in some manner. -

Most mirrors have a roll formed edge to hold the glass...VERY tricky to try and pry away and then even trickier to put back w/o the right tooling. Best of luck!

I had found a company in the past that refurbishes old mirrors. found my old post here: quick check on the link tho shows a deadend. Maybe try the email address to see if still in business and report back?

I participated in the insanity that everyone seemed to be doing this last weekend. I got some pics, sadly mostly blurry trying to hold the phone still enough for the light capture. I was hoping for a cool pic with the truck in foreground, but alas...blurry. But here ya go, post what you may have gotten!
