My 70 was built mid 69. Guess going without the marker lights is the way to go. Thanks.

Where was your truck built? Mine was canadian. Assembly plant might also have something to do with it. I've been shopping for a bed with the marker lights for a while now and all the beds I find in good shape lack the marker lights. Then just the other day I found a 70 f250 for sale on a street corner without the lights. Giving me hope that I don't need the marker lights. I wanted to get the VIN off it, but it was all locked up. My truck was special ordered with a flatbed, that's why I don't know what it's supposed to have.

How can you tell when your truck was built?
