Urgently Needed:: 1983-86 Reverse lamp
Hi folks.
If anyone has an uncracked lens for the center reverse lamp, I’d happily pay for expedited shipping in addition to the part. We are nearing completion of my restoration and this is a component that’s unfortunately holding up assembly of the tail gate. Please let me know what’s out there. TIA!

Re: Urgently Needed:: 1983-86 Reverse lamp
Hi Bryan,
I have come across two styles of lens for the reverse light. (There may be more) I don't know if it is a Canada/US difference. The vehicle I was repairing I imported. The spare lens I had didn't fit and I had to replace the whole ATM to replace the lens. Just letting you know the anomaly.

Re: Urgently Needed:: 1983-86 Reverse lamp
the 83-84 has some slight changes in trim. not sure if it affects lights, but I do know that the '87-88 ATM is a different style than earlier ATM assemblies. It may affect the back up light.
I have a few spare ATM assemblies, in cluding I think an '87 one. I will see if any of the back up lights are any good in them. Brian, you are welcome to the best one I have, but we should verify if we actually need an '83-84, or if other years' light is interchangeable.

Re: Urgently Needed:: 1983-86 Reverse lamp
Bryan,
do you need the whole ATM assembly, or just the back up light? I forgot to check today, but I think I have several of the whole ATM assemblies. the plastic ATM gets sun damaged but it can be restored by painting it the right color, with a few coats of clear on it to make it look "shinny new".
I even have a whole (but dented) 85 rear hatch I was going to scrap after I strip it of parts. here is a picture of it.

Re: Urgently Needed:: 1983-86 Reverse lamp
I could perhaps find one. I have 2 whole '85 Canadian terc's both with the reverse lamp still on them. If these will work for you I could see about their condition.
