'47 Chevy taillights

[butch27]

I have a pair of repop '47 Chevy taillights and they only have a ONE filament bulb. Did these cars have brake lights?

Looks like you may have something wrong... I found these two discussions on the same topic:

Technical '47 Chevy taillights - THE H.A.M.B.

Rodding Roundtable :: View topic - '47 Chevy taillights

Are yours car or truck taillights? I'm thinking they should be two filament... parking lights and brake light / flashed for turn...

I have a 38 Chevy Pickup and it has dual filament blubs in it. Try this web site, may help some.

I've got it figured out I think . I'll just use them as taillights and run others fo turn.

Oh- Thanks Duke That'll work just fine.

Butch, not to change the subject, but changing the subject. You going to try and make it to Bonneville in "09" ?

Well Duke: We've been to Utah the last 3 years and it is our favorite vacation spot. So we'll see.

Let me know if you decide to, I will look for you. Thinking about taking the Bucket next year and leave the 38 Chevy at home, might even sell the Chevy - still thinking about it.
