Pickup trucks didn't have to meet the emissions standards as soon as cars did.

Also, the GVWR had something to do with it at that time. If they were over 8,000 GVWR or so, they were exempt for a little longer.

Kinda the same concept for the third taillight. Cars got the third taillight in 86 or 87. Trucks and SUVs didn't get them till 94 I believe. I may be off by a year or two, but you get the point. haha. I always feel like I'll get pulled over for a third taillight out. Then I'll make the cop feel like an idiot and leave with a nice laugh from both of us.
