Stepside Fenders with lights - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What years had the step side fenders with the lights? I was looking at a 1974 with them but have not seen any others. Would like to do this to my son's truck. Were these common or a seldom selected option?

If you are refering to side marker lights mounted in the fenders, I think that was a '68 - '72 thing only. BEfore that, there were no reflectors nor lights, and after that, the '73 -'87's all had them as part of the tail light assembly.
I am not a pro on the '73 and up, so please correct me if I am wrong.

I am not 100% positive on the last year off hand, but I think it was '79. I will try and find the info.

I was asking about the tail lights mounted in the rear fender rather than hanging off the bed. I saw this on a 1976 snb but now think that they were van lights that were mounted there as a custom job. I wish I had kept the pictures of the truck but I erased them off my camera. I keep looking and just never see tail lights mounted in the fenders unless they are custom.
