Re: Anyone have a SWB fleet, 2WD leaf springs & rear sport bumper? Could use some he

One of his trucks has the original sport bumper and brackets, and those brackets are shown below. On top of that he tried using the "4X4" brackets to install a sport bumper on his other 67, which didn't fit. He ended up with the brackets for a coil spring truck, made a slight modification to the bracket to clear a rivet and done. He's going to provide a picture of his replacements later tonight.
The original brackets look far more like the replacements for a coil spring truck. They appear the same less a small mod to clear a rivet on a leaf spring truck.
I haven't a clue what the brackets I have fit. Maybe a LWB. It's a good bet they're not for a 2WD SWB leaf spring truck. BTW, page 449 in the assembly manual

He confirmed his trucks are 2WD. Safe to say a 2WD SWB with leaf springs and a sport bumper use bumper brackets for "a coil spring truck".
