Utility bumper license plate light? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Refinishing the bumper and the light mechanism has seen better days. Anyone have an idea on somewhere that's reproducing these? Or does anyone have a nice one they'd be willing to part with?

Is this for a step bumper or a chrome bumper and what year truck?

I believe that is for an aftermarket or later year bumper than 67-72.

57Suburb · 02-18-2018, 06:59 PM

Step bumper from my 72.

They sell lights like that. It might not exactly the same looking. But those pill shaped lights are sold for trailers, campers, and such. Do you have a Tractor Supply near you? Napa has lighting.

Yes, I found a similar light through etrailer, but not the same. This one has the wire running through a hollow threaded stud for attaching, while the aftermarket ones have a flange with two holes in the flange.

What you are looking for is a 45-50 year old accessory, not a GM part, so something like Western Auto N.O.S. or similar. Probably time to go with closest thing. That bumper company could have just as easily used the flange type. They were around back then.

Found one, brand spanking new! Woohoooo!

35boulder · 02-20-2018, 04:50 PM

I'm lookin for the same lite. Any help locating one would be appreciated. Thanks

35boulder · 02-20-2018, 05:39 PM

That one looks nice. It is interesting that the manufacturer's own hang tag for the item pictures a different type of license plate light, looks more like package for this.

Yes, that was the flange style I was about to purchase, until I found the one like my original.

After looking at every specialty supplier out there, gave up and went to ebay, and boom, there it was. LOL.
