Need Details of Suburban or Panel Rear Bumper - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**argonaut** · 10-23-2012, 02:31 AM

Okay, I need some help from the suburban and panel owners out there.

My plan here is to use a pair of front frame horns from a spare, bent 64 frame, cut them off, and then make rear frame horn extensions to mount the rear bumper, rather than use standard bumper brackets.

So, what I'm hoping for are some measurements, dimension, length, drop, etc. about the rear frame area, or rear frame extensions from suburbans and/or panel trucks. Help! Hopefully some of you have bare frames that are easy to get to....

If you can take a photo, make a sketch, write down some measurements, it would be great! Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Ron.
I was going to see if you could get a profile shot of one of the extensions, but then I realized that with the bumper mounted it wouldn't really work. These pictures are great through and give me a few ideas.
Thanks!
