Default Taillight I.D.

This was the taillight that was on my 35 pickup when I got it. Looks to me like it is a 32 commercial light because it has a painted body. Am I correct? This would not be the same light used on 35's would it?

That is the correct one for 35 PU. I believe it should have the flat lens, however. Jump in here Don Rogers

I believe that a 35 rear commercial tail light could have 1 of 2 different flat lenses. The one shown by vanspeed is the reflex type with large prisms moulded in the glass and 2 bullseyes in the lens. The other style as shown in my photos has a smaller denser prism design and one bullseye. I believe that neither original lenses should have any markings.
