Re: Are the split marker lights factory or aftermarket?

I believe that may also have been when lights were required in the markers (before Jan. 1, 1969?).
Based on this, I'd say the deluxe markers were added on the top trim line during Dec., 1968, and the top 2 trim lines in 1971.

Wow that is very interesting. There were so many mid year changes on these trucks it’s mind boggling. The first hand accounts are exactly what I was lookin for, thanks for the info.
