Re: I actually like the side marker lights on the 68 and newer trucks ....

I like 'em too. I'll even confess to Hot Rod Truck Heresy, and say I prefer the Standard Marker light lens to the ''Deluxe'' because it has a much larger reflective And illuminated surface area. Just looks better at night to me.
I backed my belief by changing out the skimpy Deluxe marker lights for bright, visable, Standard markers on my '71 GMC Jimmy, even though it was a Custom trim level, for the above reasons. The old so-called deluxe markers, I relegated to my longbed Fleetside half-truck trailer, because I was too cheap to buy new lenses on a trash-run trailer.
Also, now the Jimmy matches the clean look of my '68 Chevy C/10 Stepside.
