Interesting... Especially if you can carve the base to match the cab contour.

I've actually thought about adding a third brake light to the Bump my girl is going to be driving someday... but I will probably go with adding a extra bright RED LED lamp to the center of a period cargo light to keep it hidden and in the vintage theme.

Ummm Josh, I hate to tell you this man but it's crooked! :lol: Nice accent, I'm all about the brighter the better. And free is always good! I didn't realize anyone was making the cargo lamps repop, thanks for sharing. I've got an OEM here that I doubt I'll never mount, probably sell it if anyone's interested? :roll:

Looks like it would go just fine on there. Say Josh, I see you have the newer F150 seats in there, do you mind posting pics or the link if you already have them posted. I'm going to use the ones I have out of the 2002 parts truck and it would be nice to see how you did yours.
