Edit: Also wondering is the sidemarker lights that are pre-85 will go on too

Edit: Also wondering is the sidemarker lights that are pre-85 will go on too Yes on the tail lights. Some minor modifications required to hold them in place. You'll need to cut new gaskets to keep out moisture. Yes on the sidemarkers. No modifications required. 70's GM pickup/suburban markers fit as well. Be sure you replace/renew the fixture-to-metal gaskets to keep out moisture. | | | Re: Van Tail Lights | Joined: Sep 2017 Posts: 30 newbie | OP newbie Joined: Sep 2017 Posts: 30 | What are the minor modifications? Like splicing in different bulb fixtures, or removing metal? About the metal gaskets, do I have to make those or are those sold? Just wondering for future reference, thanks.

Usually you'll need to cut the gaskets you'll need from some cork material. None of that is hard to do it just takes a little time. You could try the "Search" option for that here in the forums as that modification has been posted in the past but the pictures may/may not be there.
