Tail light brackets? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

5150 · 02-08-2005, 09:40 AM

I bought some tail light brackets from Tim a couple of weeks ago at a show here in Mid TN. After looking at the brackets on my truck the other day at NADC I noticed that they are different. My lights are different also, which I've always known. If someone could show me a close pic of the where the bracket attaches to the light from the rear I'd appreciate it.

thanks

Looks like some one put a set of pre 67 or round trailor lights on yours. It is hard to tell for me from, the angle difference of our pictures, but it almost looks like they mounted a tailight on the backup light bracket.

Here is how mine looked when I bought it.

I bought new chrome brackets, but after I got home I remembered that I have a different set of lights. I'm needing a pic of the backside of light where the bracket attaches to the light assembly. I'm wanting to make sure that the brackets that I bought will fit the lights I have.

Man I don't even know which box mine are in at the monent or I'd zap a picture for you. I'll see what I can dig up later. That is the troubl;e when you are in different states of assembly (mine is going back together....eventually).

I could get you a picture later tomorrow afternoon of the brackets/lights that came on the 67 stepside I'm putting on my GMC.

thanks Palf70step,

I guess that if there are the two bolts on the back of my light assembly I'm okay. If they don't line up I'll drill another hole.

thanks,
