Are these tailights special?

70

Asked by IsaacZ May 04, 2015 at 03:51 PM about the 1981 Chevrolet C/K 10

Question type: General

Alright so i was told these taillights were custom. But I found another one with the same lights. This truck is a 81 chevy Cheyenne. Could it be that these cheyennes were made in mexico? Do cheyennes made in mexico have different parts?

I heard that cheyennes made in mexico were sometimes made differently? These lights kind of look like the late 60s early 70s taillights.

Looks like the Mexicans didn't get the shipment of "73" taillights and used what was on the shelf
