Hi guys. Got a dually without a tailgate, Got a good tailgate off of a 1/2 ton. Want to put the clearance lights on "new' tailgate. Anyone have a diagram for placement? Thanks!!

I've seen measurements for cab clearance lamps but not the tailgate clearance lamps.
I would think you might be able to find the measurements in a body shop repair manual from the late 90's.
Hopefully someone with more information will pipe up.

Thanks Hatzie. I've seen the cab marker diagrams too. I'll try to dig on my end and wait to see what someone may post.
