Rear Bumper mounting?

Can someone post pictures of their rear bumper brackets please. my 72 Jimmy had a truck bumper and I got a stock style but it is missing some brackets. Thanks in advance. Chad.

Re: Rear Bumper mounting?

Not trying to thread jack, but what's the difference between the truck bumper and blazer bumper?

Bumpers are the same.

My 72's don't use an inner bracket. Bolts directly to the end of the frame. Outer brackets are same as pickup. Bumper face is same as pickup.

Re: Rear Bumper mounting?

The pictured bumper was mounted with only the frame mounting points. I believe the bumper is a 80's style bumper. I see the brackets I need now thanks.

Chad you are right, that is not the stock bumper for a 72. The 72 bumpers don't curve around the corners of the body.
