Need help with a stepside Taillight Measurement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

blkcorvair · 09-22-2011, 06:37 PM

Maybe someone out there with a Stepside can help. I just mounted the new Triplus bed sides I have. Im a little dissapointed they dont have holes for the Rev Light or Taillight Brackets! With no nuts welded to thew back side.

So it looks like I am going to have to use nut serts.

But I dont have my old bedsides for reference. I can locate the Rev light bracket using one hole that is there. But I need a measurement. Can someone get me a measeurement from the top of the Reverse light Bracket edge to the Bottom of the Taillight bracket edge on a stock Stepside???

It looks about 2-1/8" in a reference picture I have but wanna be sure before I start drilling. Thanks!!!!

Something I saved from a post years ago.

Measurements for the stock taillight and back up light brackets.

Hole #1 2" from the bedside, 3 1/2" from the bottom of the stake pocket.

Hole #2 2 3/8" from the bedside, 10" from the bottom of the stake pocket.
