looking for some tail light buckets for an early ('65) LWB

 

[Rix 45]

This my '64 pick up. I looked high and low for the light fixtures with no luck. The placement of these lights assured their doom from splashed up moisture and dirt. I carefully sand blasted the rusted out "cans" and lead soldered patches to restore the integrity. I the took apart some old torn up FJ 55 tail lights and installed the bulb fixtures with wires as close to original as possible. Painted them up and used some quarter inch vacume tube to make the rubber seal around the old original lenses that I had polished with some plastic polish compound. They work well and look pretty darn good. Discloser: A fricken ton of work!

Best,
Eric.

I would be willing to put in the time repairing some "rusted out cans", if only I had some

thanks for the suggestion, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Toyota Stouts used the same unit, that is where I found my spare ones, not for sale tho.
