Re: Markeb01 Build Thread

I share a similar approach to things. I want things to look vintage, but also want them to look like they belong together. I combine this with the stuff I either loved in my youth, or always wanted but could never afford.

I’d probably have guards on my back bumper now, but have never found a good way to install any that wouldn’t put the tailgate at risk if it got dropped. And although I like the rear bumper because it’s attractive and goes with the 1955 rear fenders, I’ve often thought about trying to modify a front bumper for use on the back, so it might look like it was designed for the truck.

The lenses on the 55 Chevy back up lights look great, but I can’t really determine what the mounting bezels would look like. I’ve seen a couple more Unity lamps like mine on Ebay recently, but some were shot with bad chrome and a couple others were way overpriced for just single lamps (not a pair). I hope you can find some you like.
