Very cool. I think I'm beyond measurements at this point. The bumper should be 8.5" from the frame rail.

As you say, strikes me the brackets may have been EXACTLY the same as a coil spring truck. If the only condition is to avoid a single rivet on a SWB leaf spring truck, I see no reason why GM would make two different brackets.
