Rear Bumper Bolt Pattern Thread - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yet another rear bumper thread. New things come up. Hopefully this one serves as an education. The more

's and

's chime in the better.

For those with factory 1967-72 rear bumper bolt patterns, can you measure the bolt pattern on your frame rail? That and can you provide the:

Year
Model
2wd or 4wd
LWB or SWB
Coil Spring or Leaf Spring
Factory bumper

The bolt pattern on my 71 C-10, 2WD, SWB, leaf spring

is 5.3/10". It had a factory step bumper. A bumper isn't installed, so a paint stick made it easy to measure the frame.

The pattern on my 72 C-20, 2WD, LWB, leaf spring is 5". Factory step bumper. The rearmost hole isn't as far back on the frame rail as that on my C-10.
