Front License Plate
Hello everyone,
Just a question, on my 52 F1. Was there a "official" front license plate bracket of some kind?
I purchased a PA 1952 plate over the weekend. Its in great shape and I would like to put it on the front of the truck. I will probably just make some kind of bracket but if there is some kind of holder available I'd like to know.
97' today about 80% humidity and too hot to work outside so surfing on the web.
Thanks

48-52: 7C5034 is the part number, i think. lower left of the pic on bumper you'll see my original plate frame.
Dueller, that's a mean looking truck in that pic.

My 48s and the 52 all have the same thing just like the one shown in Havi's picture. Simple angle iron with slotted holes mounted on the right side of the bumper.

I decided to get out the parts book and it lists:
48-49 (1) 7RC-5034-A
50-52 (2) 8C-5034-B
So it appears they did change it then.

(it had been registered in CO previously) Since NM has always (AFAIK) only used rear plates, I wonder if the brackets were dealer-installed?

There was no place for a front license plate bracket on my polished SS bumper (48-52 repro) and I didn't want to drill holes in it so I fabricated a bracket that attaches to the frame end above the bumper. It's not quite level here but I've corrected that since the picture.
