Rear License Plate Location

I am scratching my head on this one. I searched the forum and didn't see an answer but perhaps a google image search holds the answer...

My '67 has the license plate located below the rear doors. A '65 I just saw has it on the rear left door as do the 2nd gen Econos, however a '64 & '63 I saw has it mounted below the doors. Anyone have info on the vintage vs. location? I am guessing my rear left door was swapped out at some point with an earlier one and the PO moved the plate location.

My 67 and my 66 have the plate on driver rear door, with the light for it as well.

All pickups have the plate mounted on the rear bumper, or below the tailgate if they did not come with a rear bumper. 61-64 vans used the same rear bumper as the pickups and the plate mounted there. 65-67 vans had the plate mounted on the left rear door.

Thanks for the replies. The confusing part is that the body on the 65-67 is cut for a lower plate location.

My 67 is on the bumper. I have the plate light coming through the roll pan and bumper.

They are all that way. 65-67 Just has it mounted on the door. 61-64 had it mounted on the bumper if it has a bumper but you can locate it in the middle of the roll pane if you have no bumper 0n the 61-64 and also the 65-67 if you don't want it on the door.
