[VAC] fixing tail/break/running lights



all of my exterior lights are inoperative; in
fact, the only ones that remain (with light
fixtures) are the two round tail lights and the
three upper rear running lights. there is a
capped wire hanging out of each of the holes
where other light fixtures used to be.

i am suspicious that the person who started to
restore and gave up just removed them to
polish... maybe they actually work.

i know that wiring can be tricky and a tiny
section of wire can short the whole system.

is it possible that i just need to replace the
wire that connects to my truck?

my guess is i should first find fixtures to see
if any of the lights work. will standard fixtures
fit? not concerned that they are "airstream".

who has undergone this project and any advise? i
think i need a check list of things to check.
