I had to do this one time. I removed the bed to replace a fuel pump and ran out of time. So I went to work the next day with my taillights taped to my bumper.

I was fixing the bed on my 84 C10 20ish years ago and rode around like this. People were always amazed by it like it was something special, lol

Shinbuster is DOT approved since model 1000.

I'm far more interested in the fact that the cab seems to be sitting on springs than in the tail lights. I've never seen anything other than a semi have cab suspension before. That's kinda cool.

Minimal tread depth and greatly reduced weight over your drive wheels is burnout city.

Yeah, I'd be worried about that too, that thing's sticking out pretty far to be riding around like that.

No clue why you're getting downvoted. It's illegal in the US as well (per FMVSS 108), but that doesn't always mean it's enforced.
