WTB front bumper brackets
 

Seems I have the wrong front bumper brackets.....

I need a set of front bumper brackets for a 71-72 4x4.

I've got a pair of 2 x 4 brackets but they are longer than 4 x 4 brackets.

I will trade if anyone is interested or.....??

I sandblasted this pair and rattle canned them black.

Couple of small paint runs but perfect other than that.

71-72s are different than 67-70 because of the turn signals.

Re: WTT front bumper brackets
 

Yea.....that much I already knew.

But, it appears that 2wd are different than 4wd too.

I think the 2wd are longer.

I think olblue is saying that the 71-72 4x4 brackets are by themselves.

Re: WTT front bumper brackets
 

Yea....I knew that.....which is why I'm asking for 71-72 brackets.

But they gotta be 4 x 4 brackets....different size.

Re: WTT front bumper brackets
 

I have a nice set for $45 shipped (do you need the small inner brackets also?)or trade for Blazer/Jimmy bucket seat brackets, or top to body brackets. If interested I can get pics this week.

How long are they from hole to hole, so I know I'm not buying what I already have.

I don't need the upper brackets but the lower would be cool.

As long as they aren't rusted or bent....and they are the right ones....that works for me.

Pictures would be good.

Now...I've got a set of 2wd brackets for sale ;-)

Here are pics of the brackets, as removed from a '72 Blazer

Harry, are you sure that your pictured complete '72 setup is not a jimmy or maybe a blazer that was running a 70 and earlier type bumper? Your pictured outer brackets are 4wd/K-series, but they look like GMC K-series/Chevy 70 & prior K-series type brackets to me. The 71/2 Chevy 4wd/K outer brackets have a relief stamped into them for the bumper mounted turn signal housing sockets and are also a bit longer, have a look at some of your other 71/2 chevy 4wd's for the differences or I could try to get a couple pics tomorrow. Just trying to save you guys some time and grief. :chevy:

Wes, Good point, that could be a '72 Jimmy frame, didn't think it would be different than Blazer, but maybe some brackets are? Pictures of the different front/rear bumper brackets would be great.
scoyote, I'll hold off shipping untill we are sure.
Thanks,
Harry

Here are pics of 71/72 4x4 Chevy brackets. Hope this helps, Sharpie

Re: WTT front bumper brackets
 

Wow, I'm getting an education on bumper brackets ;-)

I certainly appreciate your input Sharpie.....I don't need another set of brackets for the garage ;-)

Re: WTT front bumper brackets
 

Wes, Sharpie, thanks for the info, would these be correct?
scoyote, if these are correct do you want them, same deal?

Re: WTT front bumper brackets
 

Looks like you got em! Sharpie

Re: WTT front bumper brackets
 

Those don't look as good as the original ones....are they in pretty good shape or are they as rusted as they look?

Pitted or cracked or?????

Re: WTT front bumper brackets
 

They are very good, light rust as shown, no heavy rust or pitting, solid, and will blast/paint to excellent condition.

Re: WTT front bumper brackets
 

OK, that will work.
I've already sent the PayPal....so when the snow lets up and the Post Office is open for ya.....I'll take 'em.
