32 Pickup Tail lamp mounting

[Ideucev8]

Hi I have a new Mack Products deck & I'm hoping someone can give me the distance from the very back of the bed to the centre hole of the tail lamp bracket so I can get it mounted in the correct spot.


Would someone also be able to post a photo showing the mounting under the bed side. Do the 32s have a brace from the bed side flange to the sub frame like the 34 Pickup?


Thanks for your help,
Phil.

I could email you some pics. they always seem too big to go on here. Our pickup has the original deck , but I think someone has added a second tail light as I think the RHS one is model A. Oh ours is a very early LHD 32 .

Thanks for the offer. mines LHD as well.

Early '32 pickups had only the outer brackets at the rear ends of the chassis frame to support the bed. Inner support brackets were added as a running change later in the model year's production. Both are shown in the photos below.

David, Thanks for the reply & photos. I have both of those brackets.
It's the original mounting of the tail lamp under the deck that I need a photo of.
Thanks.

I know what your talking about but here in the states we call them bed sides. I had a picture but can't find it at this time.

Thanks.

O,K. check this site; www.pewsplace.com. Check the "For Sale" items and look at the '32 pickup. Great shot of the taillamp mounting on the left side. There's also a drawing plus some photos in the "Early Ford V-8 as Henry Built It" book that show the tail lamp. No measurements, but it appears that the mounting is about halfway between the fender and the end of the bed.
