Haven’t had to buy new ones yet, but O’Reilly’s sells a set that they usually keep on the shelf. Try them on, and if you don’t like them, take them back the same day.

I have seen those and they looked decent and I believe made in America. they do have the chrome.

Hmm, if that's the case, I'd go that route. RockAuto would be cheaper, but quality, accessibility, and a return policy are worth the few dollars.

Our oreillys is brand new here. I called and they act like they don’t even know what a R10 is. Think I may go another route. Lol. Anyone tried LMC or OPG?

They probably don’t know what it is but there’s lots of trucks that use that tail light. Try leaving the R off the description and just tell them the year.

I just replaced my tail lights with new ones from lmc. I have no complaints with them. they look 100% better than the old original faded ones and fit nice too.

another note... when im buying parts for my truck, as long as im not buying tbi specific stuff, I typically search for 1986 c10 parts instead of 87 r10 parts... most people have NO idea what an r10 is but everyone knows what a c10 is.

agreed. I have had problems with some of their stuff as well... most is made overseas and fits like crap... but I didn't have any problems with the taillights.
