Clearance light spacing

[Makaio]

A while back, someone had posted the factory spacing for those who wanted to install roof mounted clearance/running lights on trucks that weren't originally equipped. I don't remember who it was but, would someone have the factory spacing for the tailgate mounted lights? Any info will be appreciated. Thanks.

Here is the link with the spacings.

Philip,



Thanks for the prompt response but... I needed the spacing for the 'tailgate' mounted lights. Or are they the same as the roof mounted?



Aloha~

Matt,



From the center of the middle light, the first lights to the sides are 7 1/2" and the outer ones are 29 1/2". These are all center to center measurements.

Thanks for those measurements, Phil. I checked out 'Blackie' in your Readers Rigs. Niiiiice. I also noticed our trucks are the only ones with the lights at the bottom of the tailgate. Ford and Chevy mount their's at the top. Anyhow, they'll be mounted on my next day off. :-laf

I missed that you were wanting tailgate spacing. My dually bed is not at my house. Its on a stack of skids at Case500D's place.
