Third Brake light for my '86

Saw the earlier post on installing a mid-90's cab third brake light in the '80's model. Just got back from being at 7 bone yards in mid NJ.
Only 1 had a mid 90's cab. They had 1 without the third light and the other did.
Scored the light gasket and harness for $25.
None had 80's style trucks. (don't even bother looking for the rare stepside!)
Bone-yarding ain't what it used to be!

Really?????
Around here most of the yards have cleaned out, scrap is high, and most of the yards have only maybe a third of what was there 3 years ago.

The one I go to has tons of Fords with good parts on them. I went to get a cargo light for Hoss and in just 3 minutes, I saw at least 4 Fords with them. I got one with a good gasket for $10. There's another yard here though that bends you over at the counter. They have good stuff, but you do pay for it. If you need something, shoot me a P.M and let me know and I can pick it up for you.
