Olds Tail light on my 53 Ford

[leadsledjim]

Does anyone know how they put 56 Olds tail lights in a 53 Ford?
Bolt holes are not the same. Any Ideas?

If you hold the olds lens up to the ford lens you'll see it fits right inside of the ford, I drilled 2 small holes in the ford lens where the olds holes are and used a set of small self tapping screws and screwed them right over top of the stock fords. it worked fine they have been on the car forever.

I just screwed them to my '54.

My Olds 88 Tail lights that I have do not fit inside the Ford. They are about the same size. I guess I'll weld the old holes shut and drill new. Going to French the Olds Tail lights. So mounting the Inner light Socket in from inside.

I think 56 lens are too large. I think that I used 53 lens years ago.
