One of the best looking Harley trucks Ford ever made.
Funny you brought this up... I just saw a guy on the F150 forums bought some '18-'20 LED replicas that looked pretty nice, so I bought a set.
I bought mine off Amazon, but there are other sources, like these guys
Spyder Auto 2015-2020 Ford F150 [Incandescent Model Upgrade] OE BLIS Style LED Tail Lights - ALT-JH-FF15019BS-FLED-RD
They are definitely chinesium for the wiring, but they look pretty much spot on. It will be interesting to see how durable they are.
The reason they look so close is they are also sold as an aftermarket replacement for stock LED lights.
Its a little crazy...they want almost as much for 1 as a replacement for the stock LED, as for 2 when they're incandescent replacements. (I think the only difference is additional wiring to plug in your existing BLIS sensor on the LED replacements)
They come with adapters to run in the 15-17 trucks and LED hyperflash resistors.
I forgot the LED's are actually raised vs the surface of the bed, this allows them to be seen from the front of the vehicle. (and side mirrors)
I've always wanted a set but balked at the $700 price for used. (plus screwing around with Forscan to correct the hyperflash)
These were $358 so I thought, WTH. Still stupid money for...tail lights? lol
I have to agree. I also had a black 2002 Harley F-150 and feel like 02-07 were the best years.
Yep, I bought a set. Plug & play for '18-20. '15-'17 has an included adapter harness.
The gold LED hyperflash resister is also plug & play. (I tried without it, yep the turn signals flash at hyper speed!)
The wiring is all a bit long so you just have to get creative with routing & a little ziptie.
They definitely look like the factory BLIS LEDs.
I bought mine from Amazon because I had a giftcard, but the link in my last post are the same ones.
Here's a pair I recently picked up. Both manual trans 4x4. 87 is a 6.2l diesel, 73 is a small block 350.
I really like these they look like factory, adapter for 15-17 halogens included you say? I’m probably going to pull the trigger on these soon.

Man...on that '73, I'd do whatever is the softest riding 4" lift kit, small cam/carb/intake, recurve the HEI & let'er eat!
Someone swapped 3/4 ton axles under it...but kept all the 1/2 ton stuff? I assume 4.10 gears?
Yep, they're compatible with the earlier 15-17 trucks with this kit.
Great minds think alike. I already ordered a 4" ezride kit from Tuff country for the diesel. I will either leave the 73 stock height, or move the 2" lift from the diesel onto the 73.
I haven't quite figured out gears in the 73 yet.. but they are definitely either 4.10s or 3.73s. She's singing pretty good at 65 mph.
The 73 already has what feels like a warmed over small block. It rips pretty good! Has a 600cfm Holley and aluminum intake.. my bet is a small cam as well, although I can't "hear" it if it has one.
Good times!
Will the Tuff Country kit take into account the diesel weight? Sometimes they want you to add a leaf...but I've had it where that is too much. I've used an Offroad Design 1 inch "zero rate" add-a-leaf (basically a block that bolts to the spring pack) to get the stance I wanted without adding spring rate.
The '73 sounds like a BLAST. I am a manual shift guy to the core...but damn it, the 2-3 spread in a sm465 takes a big chunk of fun outa it! I wish there was a reasonable priced/readily available 5-6sp trans that was swappable.....
If you like the white wheel look, 92-97 F250 16x7 Accuride steelies are 1/2" wider and a more positive offset. (67-72 guys run them a lot)
Old set of SOS scrubbed chrome wagons, or a semi-beat set of aluminum slots would look pretty bitchin...if you're into a vintage/patina look.
Rotated the tires and broke out the quick jacks. Second pic is full height (well, highest lock, it’ll go a little more)
Those quick jacks are one of my favorite purchases.

Wish I’d bought them when they were a couple hundred bucks cheaper. They still take some work to get the vehicle up but still easier than jack stands for the most part
Cool trucks!
Delivery pending…
5.0?
A bit older F150 shortbed with 5.0 and manual transmission. My 95-8 yrs with original owner and I've had for 20 now. Has been a great truck. This truck is expert in wheeler hauling. The doohickey across the front of the box is a "Cabsaver". Its a rubber covered flexible aluminum bar that keeps wheelers from colliding with the front of the bed or on newer trucks, busting out the back cab window. 61k original miles now....
