Re: 60-66 Stepsides Rear View...

Just a suggestion for all of you running chains. If you cum in from the bottom with the hook there is a lot less of a chance of the hooks coming out and I think they will tuck in allot better.

Cadillac tail lights, frenched.

Hidden latches from Brother's.

Removed the chains and latches and added cables.

Nice clean look.

That's how I think they were intended to fit.
That's how my grandpa always did his.

IIRC these are S10 tail lights.

Another thought occurred to me, years ago when my wife made my chain sleeves, I had her make four of them instead of just two. By doing this, the chains pretty much hang straight down instead of forming into the curl seen on most one piece sleeves. The link that hangs out connecting the two pieces is so well protected by the sleeves it doesn't bang up the sheet metal:

The same could be achieved with the aftermarket clear sleeves. Just cut them in half.
