I don't know exactly either, but I believe '68 may have been first year. Many automobile safety standards went into place in '68, including side marker which were also required at least on light trucks as well. '69 was the first year light trucks had clearance (cab) markers designed into the truck, not just an add-on. I think all dual rear 1t trucks left dealerships with the clearance lamps mounted. Since only 1t light trucks can be registered over 10,000# I assume that requirement was for all commercial trucks.

I'm going back to big Fords for this post
