That's my old place in Atlanta. Snows there at least a couple times each winter; I lived there for 6 years before coming home to Texas.Neither of which are as rare as snow in Houston.

I recognize those clear tails...The tailgate markers are OEM, and required by law on the dually. (So are the cab markers and dually fender markers.) The early 400 duallies got the rear ones across the tailgate, and at some point (1995 maybe? I'd have to investigate to be sure) they moved them to a single assembly of 3 in the gap between the tailgate and bumper. Cleaner look and harder to damage, but these were already there on the tailgate, so I fixed 'em. It's 4 holes for each light btw! 2 for the rivets that hold the socket to the sheetmetal, and 2 for the bullet contacts.
Ya know, my old '92 ECLB had a tailgate off a dually and I had to remove all that junk when I first got it. No way I was letting those ride on that type of truck. You can just barely see where I masked off and primered the spots they were in, before the truck got body and paint later. Also a glimpse of the rare all-clear tails and even rarer all-clear Caprice tails!

One of many sets of clear tails. That was an original APC set, and a dude that backed his station wagon into my bed corner broke one and had to replace it. You could still buy them brand new at that time.I recognize those clear tails...
My 95 had markers on the gate.
I had no idea duallys had to have lights on the tail gate. I've just never noticed it before, I guess.
IIRC any vehicle over 80" in width has to have them. This is why those fat a$$ Ferd raptors have them....It's because of their width, same goes for trailers above a certain width they need those 3 in the middle.
And now it seems many are just putting them on anything. Some look really ridiculous.IIRC any vehicle over 80" in width has to have them. This is why those fat a$$ Ferd raptors have them....
I joked a lot about hantavirus after picking up Roscoe, but a couple months ago I was chatting with a friend who grew up on a reservation, and he told me how scary that stuff is. It has a 38% mortality rate. Next time I won't be so blase when vacuuming up mouse poo. Wear your respirator!I had to blow about 1,000 mouse turds out of there first, so I probably have hantavirus now.
