Re: Are the split marker lights factory or aftermarket?

I contacted Chevrolet and asked why. Their response was that my truck was produced the second week of December and that these items were added about a week after my truck was made. 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.
Holy cow, can't get much better info that that! That's some good stuff right there!
