It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Thanks for the welcome!!
Well, here is a question I know someone out there can answer!!
I have owned my 1987 R30 dually standard cab for 30 yrs.
About 25 yrs. ago I wanted a gooseneck tailgate so I gave my factory
tailgate away to a friend - big mistake!
I want to go back stock and finally found a decent factory tailgate, however it is
off of a 1/2 ton truck and does not have the Dually tailgate lights. I live in a rural area and there
are not any other duallies for me to measure the light spacing.
If any of you guy's have a factory dually tailgate could you measure and post the light spacing so I can
install the new lights on my tailgate?

Here are some photos with measurements. 

When the lights went on this tailgate, measurements came directly off a 1986 GMC K3500. 

The camera angle is off a bit with trying to hold tape measure, take photos and keep my shadow out...
