Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!

I always wondered too, and figured it was something to do with snagging them backing up in tight quarters. I always wondered how it was legit to not have a full-width bumper. I'm not sure about the cut to avoid pushing the bumper into the tire. The idea is to not be running into things, but when it happens that bumper bent back into the tire might have saved the tire/steering/suspension.
