My ‘39 1/2 ton has a bracket on each side or the rear of the bed and I have no idea what their intended use is. Can anyone let me know what they were used for?

Thank you!

Mike

Mike, you do not have to use links for photos. Image posting instructions are in the left margin of every page.

Mike Winters I think that is an added tail light bracket,my Dad would call the left tail light a clearance light,you just had to have one early on. Later with more traffic and turn signals they would put on two,next a light on the license plate was required,then back-up lights,then trailer hook-up,then camera's so you don't back into your hitch...never ends !!

X2 That looks like a light bracket to me.

Thanks Fixite7 and Tiny. A light bracket totally makes sense! Its amazing all of the things these old farm trucks had added over the years!

Take care!
