Need a pic of rear bumper brackets at the frame rail
I have a 1971 Chevy Long/Fleet. It originally came with one of those 200 pound industrial bumpers....Installing the stock chrome one and the holes are not matching up with the frame rails. Before I make an assumption and start drilling, I figured I better ask you all for a photo.
Thanks |

Re: Need a pic of rear bumper brackets at the frame rail
If you have the new mounting brackets with your new bumper they should mount without any drilling.Mine did.

Re: Need a pic of rear bumper brackets at the frame rail
i went through the same swap, and with new bumper and brackets from lmc truck. the holes didn't quite line up for a perfect alignment so i drilled the brackets out a little.

 I had the same problem with my truck. I NEVER would have guessed the brackets bolted to the frame "crooked." Pics can be priceless at times

Re: Need a pic of rear bumper brackets at the frame rail
dang faster than a speeding bullet over here, here's mine
    i guess my outer brackets are on the wrong side comparing mine to the other guy's, does the same results... Last edited by matthufham; 09-23-2008 at 11:47 AM. |

Re: Need a pic of rear bumper brackets at the frame rail

Re: Need a pic of rear bumper brackets at the frame rail
The pictures were priceless. It has been so long since I have a rear bumper...just did not picture it going on at an angle.

LMC has a great diagram of how they should go as well.
