not original, from the factory there was no rear bumper, they were all aftermarket, typically dealer installed but not always.

the license plate would sit on the left side under the tailgate and the light sat to the left of that hidden in the corner.

I need to remind my 64 that its rear bumper is not factory, She will be pissed.....

Bumpers were optional factory equipment, In the west you see lots of fabricated bumpers sold by dealers to gain more price for the Truck. Back east of the Mississippi there the factory optional ones.

The bumper in the ebay add is the correct factory optional 64 to 72 for a styleside. make sure you get the mounts with the bumper. This Bumper is available aftermarket along with the brackets.

That appears to be a correct Ford dealer sold rear bumper ...if the price is right and its not a cheap foreign repop go for it...

ask if it has any extra holes drilled in it...trailer wiring crap is a popular thing...or holes on the bottom flange for receiver hitches...even though you dont see one in the pic...whose to say there arent any thats just out of the pics view...should only have bumper mtg bolt holes and license plate mtg holes
I believe license plate light holes werent drilled in them...done by the buyer I believe since theres several types of lights used.

In two words: Im Possible. Ever try drilling thru chromed steel? I can just picture some PO'd new owner trying it with his hole saw.

Ever pop one a these lights off? If you did, you would see the hole is not completely round.

It has a notch in it. The light has those spring steel clips that retain it to the bumper, but there's a space for the notch. This way...the light can only be installed one way.

There's only one type of license light used with the contoured bumpers. Two are required, one on either side of the license plate:

DOTZ13550A (replaced C1UZ13550E) .. License Lamp Assy / Obsolete

Fits: 1961/67 Econoline / 1964/73 F100/350. The design of the light changed slightly in 1974.

Also fits: 1955/56 Packard and 1956/66 Studebaker passenger cars.
