1st Gen Tail light idea:

I have had the tail light lenses swiped a couple of times in the 9 months or so that I have had my Trekker and have been thinking about converting to an LED type taillight like this:

Was tooling around on Pirate (from this thread)--pretty nice metal work by the way... and found what another 1st Gen Truck owner did I kind of like how it came out:

I think that I may go this route, would just need to glass it in and use a trailer converter to get brake and turn signals from the same light. Would also give me an excuse to wire something brighter for back up lights..

That's an idea, will take some measure measurements. Not sure if I could find a DOT legal dual red lense that small though...
