68/69 rear side marker refector

[PCDan]

Does anyone know where to get black nearly flat (not beveled) rear side reflector pads for a 68/69. The replacemt pads that I’ve found are thick and beveled so that the reflector would be tilted up.

Try North East Classic Ford parts. They should have it.

They don’t have them on the website, or even the 68/69 reflectors on their site. Ill give them a call though.

Website is a bit nonuser friendly, but service on phone is excellent. Very knowledgeable

It doesn't appear that anyone remakes the rear...

I ended up cleaning up my 68's pads to re-use. Maybe some day they will be re-poped correctly?

It will be worthwhile to give Nick a call at North East....

I called him, nice guy. He said the ones I have from Dennis Carpenter, and likely the WH and TBP pads, are actually made for a 68/69 truck, not for a Bronco, and he doesn’t think the thinner correct pad is made new. The pad I have is 5/8 thick at the thick side, and it needs to be half that.

I guess I might have to figure out how to slice it in half.

In case anyone cares ha, the new rear marker pads available for a 68/69 have too thick of a bevel. So we put them on a belt sander and took off a 1/4 inch so the reflector is vertical.

Excellent. Thanks for the follow-up and solution.
