Tail Bracket, But For What???!
Hi - I found this tail bracket that was billed as a "1932 Station Wagon", but we already know that isn't true. Got the fact that it is a driver's side, "D-Pillar" bracket, a little bent, and pretty sure it's Ford as the Model A to '32 (and truck) taillight fit on it, and it came from a long-time Ford collector, but I am having trouble finding the application. Any one of my experts out there have any ideas? I sure would be appreciative.

Looks like 1940-'41 Sedan Delivery to me.

That looks exactly like the driver side taillight bracket on my 46 1.5 ton truck.

How long is it from the outer curve where the light attaches to the back side of the flat mounting bracket. If it is 7", it could be part number 77 13469-B, left side. Fits 48-54 F-6, F-600 and P 500 series vans and C series large trucks. It probably goes back in years for the truck lines.

Re: Tail Bracket, But For What???!
I used to have a 40 sed del and that is definitely not for a sed del, they are kind of S shaped. Big truck is my guess.
It should have a part number cast in it, have you looked for one? |

Re: Tail Bracket, But For What???!
No Part number on this one. I have a mystery part number on another bracket: 01A18470. Any ideas there?

01A is 1940 and 13470 (not 18470) is a tail light bracket, can't find number in the green book.

[QUOTE=Bob C;1396988]01A is 1940 and 13470 (not 18470) is a tail light bracket, can't find number in the green book.
So it looks like the "8" is actually a poorly struck "3", so it is a tail light bracket - Do you have a picture of that and its exact application(s)? It looks identical to 33-39 Woody brackets that I've seen on cars on the web. Could it be applicable to those as well, just manufactured in '40? I appreciate your time |

Re: Tail Bracket, But For What???!
NO, Ford kept the part number until the part changed. If a 1940 vehicle has a 1933 or 34 part on it the part number would begin with 40- if a 35 part 48- etc. an O1A- part was new on the 1940 model year vehicle and could have continued on. Many 1948 cars have 01A-parts on them.

Re: Tail Bracket, But For What???!
The "green bible" lists replacement parts, that is why 01A-13470 was not found there. If you look in the 1940 chassis book it lists that part number 01A-13470 as fitting model 790 which is a station wagon, LH side. There must be some other number that you can't quite make out (or a misprint in the manual) as that is not a 40 wagon tail light bracket. I have a 40 wagon I restored, (EFV8 Dearborn 2014) and I can say for certain the bracket pictured doesn't go on a 40 wagon. Could you post pictures of the part number? It looks very much like what went on trucks.

Re: Tail Bracket, But For What???!
My last post relates to the first pictures.
Your last picture IS a 40 wagon bracket, LH side. |

Re: Tail Bracket, But For What???!
Yes, 40-13470 would fit a 33 or 34 Station wagon Ford kept the 40 prefix for both 33 and 34 parts.
Passenger cars list the tail light and bracket as an assembly 40-13471 The brackets were listed separately only for the body styles that were different from the common passenger cars. I think a 34 Victoria has a different bracket. |

Re: Tail Bracket, But For What???!
I have an NOS one exactly like that (although it's straight - without the bends that seem to be from a hard life) marked with P/N 77-13469-B. The green book lists it ((Page 549, Bracket (rear lamp and license)-LHD)) - and I think folks use it in other applications as well. Green Book says '32 Station Wagon and Trucks except panel and dump '40-'47. It's for sale!!
