Flare Side Rear Lights and License Plate Bracket - Removal

Confirmed, bk/pk is backup lights...

I think Ron (Reamer) was repoping those license plate brackets.

Maybe look in the marketplace?

Thanks for confirming that the BK/PK wire is backup. I couldn't find that on the EVTM. I think my license plate bracket will be OK once it gets a little TLC. But, yes, I did see that Reamer was reproducing them.

I had to make the tail light harness for my flare side as I had nothing.

I started with a style side harness and cut it to work for the flare side.

I also had to make the plate light harness from a pig tail of the socket.

I was able to get new Grote tail lights think off Ebay as it has been years since I built the truck.

I was able to get the plate light bracket off Ebay.

Plate bracket I bought from Reamer.

BTW the inside of the tail light housing were painted white from the factory IIRC.

I had to paint my after market ones.

As for light grounds I have a metal ribbed floor from a style side on my flare side so I never had a problem.

I also found the G1001 ground point (I think). It was just a closed lug attached with a sheet metal screw into one of the braces that attaches to the bed side extension. I can see why they would fail after a while, it's in the 'line of fire' from the rear tire. I get the cost thing of not running a grounding wire to the back of the bed but how about a ground point that's at least shielded (somewhat) from water/debris thrown up by the rear tires?
