Assuming the F150 was available in OZ
In the 73-79 series F150's

:?: Did they have Amber rear turn signals? :idea:

:mrgreen: If so, I'd like to find a pair. :mrgreen:
Since my 88 van uses the same ones as 73-79.
 
Here's what mine look like,
The 73-79 US trucks used the same size/shape taillight.
These vans were made from 75-91.

I found it, now to figure out how to purchase a pair.
These guys want $61 AUD($48 USD) seems steep to me.
Notice mine up top have a clear lower lens for reverse.
I guess factory reverse lights are overrated overseas!!!
At least they know where your turning.
In all my searching, I keep finding trucks with bullbars, Is dodging roo's a problem?

That's cheap by my reckoning, here. They might be replicas (non-genuine).

Our conventions since '69 have been:
Indicator F+R - Amber
Reverse - Amber (just the rear indicators) OR clear
Sidelights (front) - Clear

I might have expected to see clear panels on those taillights.
 
I guess it may be a good price for AU
but a check on Autozone.com and US spec "replicas" price out at
$16.99 USD (OK replacement piece, maybe not the greatest.)
$21.50 AUD
Wow, 1/3 the cost :!:
I'll probably just put in Natural Amber bulbs in the reverse light
section and redo the wiring for turn signal operation.
(For when I move and convert the Wan to RHD, NOT!!)
Is this normal?(The higher pricing.) :hmmm:
 
Higher pricing is par for the course Down Under. It's just the costs of owning what here is a discretionary item, rather than parts for a cheap, used vehicle.

'Roos are a problem at dusk particularly. Even in outer Sydney (25 miles fom town centre), people will hit them. Wombats also do a lot of damage, as they are compact like a feral pig.

That Fancy Motorcyle Footpeg(RidgeBack) in my avatar orignated in Tasmania.
A local friend of mine was one of the first to sell them in the states.
Supposedly Aussies could order them from my buddy here
in the states and wind up spending less $$.


The illustrious whitetail deer is a problem in some regions.
So I came up with the term Deer shredder for Brushguards.
Noticed, a bit of the "Roo shredders" have a back angle on them.
