Since FTE posts are around forever, I thought I’d post the correct tail light bracket for a truck with the optional rear bumper. This bracket is different than others and is not currently reproduced or sold by vendors.
It mounts on the tail gate side using the top tailgate hinge bolt and the third hole up the stake post. It brings the license plate out from under the bed, and raises the plate so it can be better seen. It does not bring modern day sized license plates fully above the bumper, but it’s positioned better than using the wrong brackets.
In the photos, note the bend in the bracket on the part where the bolts go - this allows for the tail gate bracket to be fully mounted flush on the bed with bottom of the tail light bracket bolted to the top gate hinge bolt, then flush against the stake post for the top bolt. Look close - this bend is hard to see.
