Photos are in order from back to front on the passenger side. The supports are attached with 5/16 bolts.

If your truck has lit sidemarkers then there will be a brace/wire guide for the light.

Re: 69-72 stepside braces

The frame ones always seem to be missing for one reason or another and my truck was no different. I ended up buying a pair from Classic Industries that claimed to fit 55-72 but they required a bit of tweaking to fit properly. They are shown as step to frame brackets.

Re: 69-72 stepside braces

Are these side marker lights wire shields reproduced?



I didn't even know I was missing them until I read this thread.
