got my new sport bumper supports on my 69 stepside. no problem there. installed the bumper, no problem there, well maybe. when all of the hardware is tightened, the bumper is tilted OUT at the bottom by about 10 degree or about 3/8" at the top.

now the question. did the factory ever use bevel washers to level the bumper out. is that a plausable idea? I was going to cu some stainless washers, but those would create sharp edges...... and those edge can distort a bumper el-quicko.

any ideas guys? bevel washers the ticket??
