What does this tail light bracket fit?

[1928Fordman]

I looked in the judging standards and did not see this bracket. I took it off of a drum tail light assembly that I have. If looks like it would work the same as the pickup bracket. Just wondering if anyone has seen one of these brackets. Thanks

Nothing in the judging standards? not A my guess

 

[James Rogers]

Looks like possibly a double A truck.

pick-up or "AA" ................ steve

 

[LukeDahlinger]

It's neither Pickup at least from 1928-37 as they used the same bracket, 38 into the 40s used a flat bracket.

I don't think it's AA either, at least not one I have seen.

My guess would be 30's era Ford one ton truck or some oddball application like a school bus etc.

 

[Gary WA]

It's not bent properly to be A or AA as per stds.

Does anyone have one of the tail light brackets above with a part number on it?

Dan and I are having the same thought no doubt. From the previous thread on Model A pickup boxes. http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100381

I'm pretty sure this one has been discussed as an early station wagon use, later replaced by the slingshot version. The "other" Model A site may have discussed it. It may have even been used on the earliest coupe.

If either or all are the case shouldn't it show in the early parts list?

My guess Would be 28 Pickup , Van, Woody Wagon or AA !!

1928Fordman,
Was the drum part of the taillight you removed a 1928 style? Also, can you make out a part number on the bracket? I have never seen a bracket like you have before.

Did the Drum or tuna can have a Ford script on it ?, If so, thats a start as it would be a Very early one..

That is style that I was questioning about in this thread.....From Rusty...
................ Pickup box bolt hole question..................

I was hoping Dennis is still around.....looks like the bracket could be
touching the fender?

Not too add more confusion!

I've had this in my possession for 3 weeks, it's 6" overall, no part number
and I'm about 99% sure I know what it fits. It's earlier than the tail light
bracket posted above....I believe.

Ok DJ, I can't stand the Suspence!!!!!

Could Yours be off of a 28 Dump truck Cab ? What do you think it fits??

According to Brattons catalog, it was used from 1928-july 1929 on pickups, aa trucks, panel delivery....part # A-13471

 

[Big John]

d j.... yours seems to be bent awry......not sure what it could be correct for......

 

[Bob C]

D.J. yours looks like a shorter version of this one.

Hello Bob,

Looks like the prefix is "AA"? I think there are some brackets missing out
of the JS...and they seem too be "commercial"! What is the part number?
Side view and length?

Dudley

btw...forgot too add that my bracket has the "O" with the "M" in the
center, foundry mark. I can also see it on the bracket from this original post, at the top of the page.

 

[Bob C]

Dudley, I just have the picture no other information. Neil Wilson posted the picture
on the AA board so maybe he has some info on it.

Getting back to the original question at the top of the thread. The bracket pictured is A-13470-A and it was used on the A panel delivery, bus (what ever that was), and pickup as per the Ford engineering drawing.

This should be added to the A brackets in the JS. My early '29 A panel delivery had this bracket (see second picture). There was an AF-13470-A for RHC (right hand control) A's which could be used to have a right hand tail lamp.

It is not for an AA.
