58-59 fleetside rear bumper bracket Q
I just got a new rear bumper in for my fleetside. I have no brackets because the truck had no bumper on it when I bought it. I can't stomach the price tag all the parts house want for these things ( almost as much as the bumper).
So...my question is. If some of you guys get bored this weekend and have time to put a tape measure on yours i would be greatly indebted.  I plan on making some out of flat stock. I know I can get it propped up to the back of the truck and get a good idea, but some stock measurements could help reduce my cerveza consumption. Posted via Mobile Device |

I could snap some of mine, but its been fabricated and has a " TEXAS" style bumper mounted. I think you are looking for the standard dealer installed piece.

Could you torch off the bumper portion, leaving the brackets and build from there?

Re: 58-59 fleetside rear bumper bracket Q
When I bought mine it did not have a bumper or brackets. I know it had the dealer one from the old holes on the bedside where it bolted on.
I screwed up the last time I was at all american classics in vancouver. I walked right by one in thier yard, I was looking for stuff for my 55 D@DG#.  Posted via Mobile Device |

Here are photos. Dimensioning for fab will be pretty difficult. PM me with your email and I will send you a full size template.
