Searching for some lights like what was found on the tailgate of dually trucks from the 80's. Anybody know of anything that looks right and is available online? LED's would be excellent. I have been searching for weeks but nothing looks quite right.
 
wal mart or any trailer supply center sells them (nortern,agri supply)...you can prolly order them off there website
 
they have marker lights but not like our tailgate lights. The factory ones are difficult to find.
 
You can get the exact same size and shape from the Grote shelf at your local parts store. Only thing different is that they won't have the black shell. Its chrome instead. You get your choice of yellow or amber lenses to choose from.

I have one here and can take a pic of it. It comes with a short length of pigtail light, too.
 
are you talking about the strip with 3 lights on it???thoose come on trailers too...

Nah, the individual ones.

definitely post a picture! Apparently my local guys don't have it. I've looked there several times and they got jack.

Or just the grote number would work too.
 
Will have to try the pic later. For some reason, it won't go thru. :confused:
 
The Grote lens number is 4641 which is the yellow one. I doubt that number will give you the rest of the parts you need.

I can stop at Car Quest tomorrow and get the number and price for you.
 
Didn't work. Send an email to Kert. Post up the pic here man! See if it works for you.
 
The bottom link is exactly like mine but with yellow lens. Same chrome housing and same wiring.

Did you get my email pic?

Yep, just got it. Is the chrome housing, plastic?
 
Yep, just like the factory black one, too.


Now, if I can find someone in my area that has them or can get them. At least I have a part number. Thanks Bud!

I think I'll paint the chromie plastic thing black.

Kert, as per Car Quest and the Grote catalog:

#46422-5 (red lens)

#46423-5 (yellow lens)

Each has the lens, wiring, and chrome base. Each runs around $5.

These lens and bases are identical to the factory lights on the tailgates of C/K 30/3500 trucks.
