Fabricate/Modify Suburban Sport Bumper Brackets

[JCampbell]

Anybody ever fabricate their own inner sport bumper brackets? Picked up a bumper and brackets off a Suburban to use on my shortbed. I knew the centers weren’t going to work, but I snatched them up anyway. I mounted it up using the outer brackets, but I was thinking about making a “filler” bracket out of some 4”x1/4” channel. Bolt one end to the frame of the truck and the other to the Suburban brackets.

Any of you ever done anything like this before? Looking for any pics/ideas that might be available.
