Re: 58-59 Fleet Info
It mounts to the under side of the rear sill with a the light on the rear surface of the sill. Its like the 60 step

Do you know if the bumpers all had the holes drilled or punched in it (in the drop down section?) where it appears that it might have mounted, Thanks

Re: 58-59 Fleet Info
I have two holes with low domed chromed bolts in them. It would seem logical that it would mount there but all the books I have show a bracket mounted under the rear sill.

Re: 58-59 Fleet Info
The book that would tell for sure is the 58-9 assembly manual supplement. The regular 55-59 assembly manual doesn't list the fleet side rear electrical.
Here is a picture from a sales flyer Last edited by dwcsr; 11-27-2010 at 09:05 PM. |

Re: 58-59 Fleet Info
No good on the molding
I did find a picture that apears to be original and the bracket is bolted to the bumper |

Re: 58-59 Fleet Info
The licence light under the rear sill was standard because trucks did not come with rear bumpers. They were optional. The drop down bumper is supposed to have it on the bumper, but not all of them had it.
