And my Burro redo continues-update 10/2/13

Postby Gage » Thu Jul 25, 2013 2:00 am

Now, my dilemma is that I plan on changing the tail lights on my Burro that I’m having restored (A small mod). I never have liked the ‘wedding cake’ tail lights that are on the Burro and other vintage trailers. My plan was to replace them with 1955 Ford tail lights. Then I looked at the 1956 Ford tail lights and they both look good. I can’t put them to the Burro because it’s still in paint and looking at them, I can’t make up my mind. :thinking: What do you all think? I’m open to all opinions.

Personally I like the 55's, just think they have a little more class. 8)

Gage, I'd see if either is available in LED and go for that one.
My preference is the 55 Ford.

1955's....they have more personality. I think the shape compliments the trailer better. :D

55 get my vote.
