I am not sure which lens your rig has. However, I would think a Montana dealership is your best source. When I lost one, I could not find it anywhere but the dealer. If your rig has an industry standard lens, you could get it at any RV store.

I would agree with Stiles - if you have the 06, you don't have the integral back up light lens (introduced in 07) so your lens is solid red and is an exlusive built lens for Montana.

I thought it was a 1987 to 1991 GMC Jimmy/Suburban lens - you can probably find one at a junk yard for cheap.

I agree with Michael, I had a 89 Chev shortbed and it had the same rear tail light lens as my 3400RL.

It is the same lens - except - the Montana has no integral backup light lens at the bottom (unless it is the late 2007 or 2008).

If you are not near an RV store, go to an auto store and pick up some of that temporary lens fix-it-upper red transparent paper. (Don't know the proper name for it.) You may be able to find something in a grocery store that is red. That is until you can get a replacement and it will keep you legal.

Watch out for them thar fence posts. They can jump up and smack you one!

Edited: Only thing worse is those 4" steel ones embedded in concrete at service stations and other un-ordinary places.

Having replaced a cracked lens on our o7, the lens is from a GM truck, 1978-1983. I got this info from the seller's parts department as it took Team Montana 7 months to finally get me the correct lens. I was about to resort to the junk yard to find the correct lens. FYI- the red part of the lens knocks out and can be replaced with the white lens for the dedicated back up lights.
