Stepside backup lamp brackets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I’m painting the OEM brackets today and a quick question. Is the right suppose to be bent like this? I thought maybe it was backed into something but the more I look at it the bend is to perfect to be just crushed . Original lamp and lens were still on it too.

Left is straight .

Mine were both flat but that doesn't necessarily mean they were correct. Although I do not know why the right would be offset like that unless a PO needed it to clear something.

Could be a difference in year models though. I'll have a look at mine though they are OG 69's.

As I thought, both of mine are flat, left and right side. That bracket is for the backup lamp and I can't imagine why it would need to be offset from factory. And your bent one looks too smooth to be owner modified I think so maybe it is from another year of truck?
