    Thinking of different tail lights for my 51 F1. Has stock ones now, just looking for ideas. Thought maybe 50 Mercury or 50 Shoebox.

    I'd say either of those would look good and look right on that truck.

    Have seen 50 mercury on one of these and they looked great.

    An older guy in town here has a '50 F1, with a pair of '602 era big rig trailer lights, their steel cups welded flush with the fenders. Looks great, but up close you can see the lens is commercial plastic, with that spring ring of 18" wire that holds it in (around the lens' cir***ference)

    Now, if '50 Lincolns were installed in there, with their beveled bezels...Wowee, a winner for style right in the era.
    Still can't go wrong with '50 Mercs...
