Yep, my 51 is the same as Doc's. 54 has one on the left also plus on the front in the middle but its from Nebraska originally. 53 didn't have one when i bought it so I'll put it on the left also.

Yep, the stock location is on the driver side, but it also can be a problem when you walk by and run into it. I say put it in the middle, but don't forget the light. Jag

My grandad has an original '47 stakebed (last of the car model) and it actually has the original tailight /license mount (standard was 1 tail light on driver side, it was an option to get a passenger taillight - just like passenger wiper).

I have a '48 stakebed which came with nothing. I am in the process of fabing mine - it will go on the driver as well.

I believe that stakebed, styleside, etc all styles the original was 1 tail light / license plate on the driver only and option package for the passenger light.
