Tail light mounting location for 1936 Truck
I bought a tail light bracket to be used with rear bumper for 1936 Ford Truck; however, I am lost as to how or where exactly it mounts.
It appears to mount to the frame but I see no existing holes...almost feels like I am missing a bracket of some type. Can someone help me with a picture of proper way to mount it? Thank you in advance It looks like this http://macsautoparts.com/early-ford-...R3CHL1142107E/

This is not for a pickup, it is for a big truck.

Re: Tail light mounting location for 1936 Truck
I have four round lights mounted underneath the tailgate on mine. This might have been a commercial application. Only one of these works currently, so I have mounted a 37' light on the left as did Hot Coupe. There are a couple of bolts on the back of the box that fit the bracket. Wish all the problems were that easy to remedy.

and I can furnish you with a couple of pictures. Just learning a new computer and haven't figured it all out yet.

As Jerry Grayson says, the bracket shown in Mac's book is for a large truck.

Re: Tail light mounting location for 1936 Truck
I appreciate the pictures of the info. Thank you Lawson that email helped! now see that I have the wrong set of brackets.
My problem seems that I can't find the right brackets. I checked with Mac and early Ford parts and they don't carry these....any one with a lead on where I could get a set or should I just try my luck in the classified section? Thank you everyone!

www.mackhilsmetalfabrication.com/ reproduces the tail light bracket that i used on my `37. however they only make the left side [driver], so you have to cut one apart and weld it back together - because of the offset.
