However, almost every truck ever made has had a similar bumper available. Hard to tell without pictures and/or measurments. Check out the accessory catalog reproduced at the site in my signature for a picture of one. I think it's in the "technical" section. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 328 Member | | Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 328 | Yes, it is, but it's not really rare. There may be less of them than the regualar ones, but I've found a ton of people with that bumper. Should mount right up. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 297 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 297 | i believe the 54 was the first year for the tag to be in the middle of the truck. the earlier years were on the stop light bracket. I could be wrong.

I put a '54 rear bumper on my '53, but ran the correct taillights/brackets in order to run a plaque where the license plate is supposed to go on the left. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | mine is a 52 and not on the bracket or bumper as I have no rear bumper but the plate is in the center.. of the rear of the truck,,

Perhaps they are not really rare, just not as plentiful as front bumpers, and therefore worth more $. | | |
