You think I'd give you half an answer?

Yes, there's a part # tab that should answer your questions. But, if not please let me know what's missing.

De-coder ring to figure out how to read the part numbers

At first I thought with out bumper PN:D6TZ 13550-A but looking up pictures thru Google they just did not look right

So I picked PN: D7AZ 13550-A (no note with or with out bumper) and that looks more like the parts book picture on Google. Less bulb socket.
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2322090.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XD7AZ+13550-A.TRS0&_nkw=D7AZ+13550-A&_sacat=0
Now they go for $20+ s/h to $46+ s/h again less bulb socket and it's not LED.
Because I am in no rush when I have time I want to check other options for a light in LED models.
Grote has some LED plate lights that look like they would work.

First, the body code of 99 means Styleside and 83 means Flareside. ("99" is smoother than "83" is the way I remember it.) So I think you want D7AZ 1350-A.

I'll put the above info about body codes on that page if you think it'll help.

That may help others if they come across the page as I did not know what the (xx) number was for.

I also saw in the 13550 area a B-R--w/chrome bumper , B--w/painted bumper , A for the "83" light and was looking for foot notes what they were for.

And Gary will set it aside with the stash for Darin. And, I'll watch for whatever Dave decides is the way to affix them to the truck.

Darin - Does your truck have holes already to attach the bracket? If so, does it have nutserts in the holes? If so, what thread pitch?

Dave - Why didn't your truck have the holes already drilled?

Gary, my truck did have the holes in the rear sill it was the plate bracket that Ron made that did not have the holes.
He said he did not add them to the bracket or the ones for the plate light because the mounting holes may be different between trucks and for the light some people may not use the stock plate light like I am thinking about going LED.

The nut cert I should have added and may still yet, to the plate bracket.
Right now you need nut & bolt and it can be hard getting hands & tools in on the back side is all.

Daren
I don't have a paypal account, but I can send the bracket to Gary, And when you get here, you (or Gary

) and send a money order from Okie for the bracket then.
How's that sound?

Re: 5 brackets done

Thanks Reamer! I don't want you being out of pocket on my account so I'll send Gary a separate message and see whether he's able to pay you before we arrive for the G2G.

Cheers, Darin

Re: 5 brackets done

There were no nutserts in the bed lip for the bracket From Ford. Just holes.

That's why I didn't put holes in the bracket to line up with the bed flange-holes.
I don't know if everyone still has the holes after any repairs to that area....

Re: 5 brackets done

There's definitely no nutserts - it doesn't look like this has had any previous damage.

Do you just want to pick up fasteners "down under"? Or do you need me to pick something up?

Oh man what did I start

Not in the body of the truck but on the bracket.
This way you hold the bracket up to the back side of the panel, line up the holes to the nutserts and insert the bolts and tighten down.
Other wise you have to sneak your hand with lock washer & nut or lock nut up there, then get a wrench on it to keep from turning wile you tighten them down.

Then again if a nut & bolt was good for the factory so be it
