Anyone have pics where the L and R stickers go on the rear tail lights?

Not something that apparently lasted very long as it was difficult to find for me. Found plenty of the the marker light labels, paint daubs on the housing, gaffers tape and so on and only this example





On this example the labels came off during installation at the plant and ended up in other spots than where they were before

Jeff - I believe the taillamp assemblies for 1970 were interchangeable (left or right) on all body styles so no need to distinguish between left and right.  A single part number is shown for the entire assembly.  Steve H.

Fully understand that and not sure on some unrestored cars these have been found. Since they are different color from the marker lights the stickers are not simply items that fell off of one assembly and placed on the taillight housing by mistake of a later owner or dealer.

As far as the classic years this is the only plant and year I believe this has been found
