Based on that, I believe all markers were non-lighted without trim until sometime during tthe 69 model year. After that, the deluxe trim levels had the deluxe lighted markers and the lower trim trim levels had lighted standard markers through 1972. I never saw an orginal 68 with deluxe markers. However, many owners preferred the deluxe markers and upgraded their's.
Wow, you've owned a 69 since it was new. Impressive.

I just bought a '69 Custom20, and was a bit disappointed when I turned on the lights, to find that the sidemarkers don't light up. So, are you saying they are just reflectors, and were designed to be that way?
