On my 1970 gmc I found out today that theres more than just 2 screws holding it on.
Now whats holding it on and how do I get it off? Thanks for help.

The screws hold the lens cap on. If it's still stuck on there you may have to pry it a little. After all, it's been on there for quite a few years presumably.
I think the screws to remove the bulb housing are inside. Either that or from up under the fender. Never had mine off yet.

I think he's talking about the chrome bezel around the tail light lens. If so, there are a few clips holding it on besides the screws. Just pry on it a little and you should be able to get the clips to disengage.

If a man speaks in the middle of a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Forget about "do it right the first time". Do it wrong the first time to learn how, then do it right the second time.
