Actually, it's similar to the Ford picture you posted. Just imagine the fenders aren't there at all.

No fenders to mount them on. There's actually nowhere to mount lights on the back of the truck. I'll have to create something.
Will it have a rear bumper?

I don't know. I like the look without one but I wonder if I'll ever regret not having one.
Currently I've loosely been thinking of fabing two rectangular aluminum housings to mount lights to the lower areas of the rear of each bed side.

If you do a bumper, it gives you a spot.
The rectangular housings will definitely work, but might look a bit like a trailer setup.

Hmmm yeah it looks like the trailer light motif was common on trucks
I don't dislike it though

I've seen circular ones put in the bedrails. They looked good, but were a bit less visible, IMO. May not be an issue with modern LEDs.

I like this idea.

They would have to be like 1-in diameter to fit the bed rails

A few ideas maybe.
'41 Chevy lights
'37 Ford tail lights
46-48 Ford PU tail lights

That might be a winner. I could pull that off with what I have here.

Interesting concept. I think I would be worried that they're not visible enough. Like you said, maybe the LED factor improves it enough to be functional

I like the Ford PU style better. It's your truck though.
