re: Rear reflector mystery
I believe those '67TK' reflectors are actually a one-year-only item for '69, since '67-'68 trucks didn't have rear reflectors. They might have been used on early Econolines, but I can't find a picture of one anywhere to verify that. I did find a pic of a '69 van, but those reflectors are much more square than the truck versions.

re: Rear reflector mystery
Thanks Keith.....I think you're right because mine are definately rectangular and NOT square.Also,the chrome "baseplate" that holds the reflector lens tapers in thickness(thinner at the top-thicker at the bottom rather than being of uniform thickness.

re: Rear reflector mystery
capeclassics: I just checked out your gallery and saw that you indeed have the '69-only version of rear truck reflectors.
Also, it seems you saved Joe's thumbnails to your gallery, but not the full-sized versions. I'd delete those thumbnails and upload the full-size pics, so we can admire that beauty!

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~
