Default Help needed with taillight stand id

I got this taillight stand, was told for a '36, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Anyone an idea what year it is? Maybe not even Ford??

Definitely not '35 or '36 Ford.

I'd go further; not Ford. One end is like the '37 passenger car brackets, but the other end is unique.

Check with the wonderful people at The Filling Station, Lebanon OR. They are early Chevy experts and might be able to identify it or rule out Chevy.

Did you look inside of the tail light stand for a part number ? If there is a part number, let us know, and we may be able to identify the tail light stand for you.

Thanks for the replies. I cleaned the bracket and indeed a part nr. is stamped inside. 78-F-13471.

A quick search tells me 1937 Ford, but not exactly clear which model. I've also never seen a letter in the middle of the part nr. Only 78-13471 shows up, without the F.[emoji848]

Anyone an idea?

78- 13471 is 37 tail light bracket LH for 37 Ford, F denotes 'export/ RHD, why RHD tail light stalks would be different I do not know....

Ok, thanks. Export and RHD or 'or'? I got it here in The Netherlands, so export might be right. We do drive left side though.[emoji16]

Australian 37's have an early? style tail lamp which explains the different shape at the lamp mounting end.

Tail Lights were not the only differences in Australian RHD 1937 Fords.
Part way through the model year, Ford Australia started painting the Grilles body colour and adding chrome strips.

Thanks a lot everyone. So it's for Australian 37s only? Very weird how that ended up in The Netherlands....[emoji848]
