Can anybody tell me what the measuremt is from the rear body mount to the rear bumper hole. Somebody cut the rear frame horns off and I need a measurement to replace them.

What year is your truck? 72 had a different rear frame design so that will change things.

It is a 69. What did the rear look like on a 72. Didn't realize there was a difference. Thanks

69,70, and 71 don't have rear frame horns, frame stops short before the end of the body. Those years have 4 bumper brackets to mount the bumper to. The 72 frame horns run past the body and the bumper bolts to the end of the frame horns.

Thanks that would be great. Did they use differnce brackets the the trucks. I have truck ones on there now & the rear body mounts don't fit. Pictures would be helpful.

For a 72 The center two bolts attach directly through the frame, just imagine the way the front frame ends look and the bumper mounting and it's almost the same on the rear

Here is a 71 it was hard to get pictures it had a hitch welded to the rear frame rail I cut most of it off. You can see the body doesn't have a notch for the frame rail.

Here is a 72 frame and you can see how the body has a notch for the frame rail.

Hard to get real good pics where I have the Blazer but here are the ones on my 71' I got a pic of the outer and inner bracket. I think the biggest difference on the inner bracket is that it has a step down or cutout right when it gets the the rear of the frame (I boxed the area in white of what I am talking about).
