From looking at Rock Auto, the late 80's Dakota tail lights look the same. ~$18 each side.
Any idea what the difference may be? Looks like Dakota lights are bigger.

But, isnt the initial MD inspection really stringent? Trow, is there anything else you could fail for on a tougher inspection?Arya Ebrahimi wrote:Dude, you're moving to MD in a month, wait till you get here and tag it(and the Cherocar for that matter) historic. No inspections or emissions ever!

Do you really think I could have ever gotten the mini-truck past ANY kind of inspection let alone a stringent one?
