Have any of you installed this type of rear plate holder. Traditionally the bulb is at the top but that won't work with this plate holder. The mounting bolts would be down below and behind the bumper. It seems wrong for the bulb to be at the bottom but I can't see how else to mount it. Any experience with this mount would be appreciated.

MickeyP, See the screen grab below from fellow Bolter rooney3100's 1956 3100 Gallery photos. Shows the installation location and orientation you seek. Mount bolts on the back side of the plate mounting bar go through the rear bed cross sill to secure to the truck if IIRC.

Looks like the same one that came on my truck. I assume it was installed by previous owner. Not sure if he goofed on first hole or if those were for a different original bracket. There are two bolts but I took this shot blind by reaching under. Hope it helps.
