I need a rear license plate bracket. A friend has a bracket that he took off of a '57 Ranchero decades ago, but does not remember if it was on the front or the rear.
So, the question is.....Are the'57 Ranchero license plate brackets the same front and rear? Are the license plate brackets on a '58 Ranchero the same as those on a '57?
Thanks
John
John, the front bracket on my Ranchero had the mounting holes close together, about 3" apart. It was beyond use and repair so those two holes had polished ss bolts put in them. My rear bumper was not with the car so I found a rear wagon bumper of unknown year (57/58) and built a mount for it. The hole spacing for mounting it is in the 6 - 8 inches. Sorry, no good answer to your question.....
From what I understand the they are not. There were two different front bumpers in 57 the narrow spaced holes and the the later wide spaced holes. The rear bumpers I believe are the same.

Rear brackets are the same for Rancheros and the wagons. Cars didn't use rear brackets. I searched for one but never did find one. A couple of bends in the brake and had a new one. Looks OK.
Thanks to ......Bill Mike and Gary. I appreciate your comments and insight.
