Rear Bumper Brackets

[jasinger01]

Hi, I'm wondering if I have my rear bumper brackets on correct? Truck is a 1969 GMC SWB with leaf springs. This is the only orientation that I could find that works for the brackets, and matched a picture that I found on an older thread.

Is the bumper supposed to stick this far out past the tailgate? There is a huge space there. Not sure if I have an incorrect combination of bumper/brackets?

Any feedback on if this is how it is supposed to look or if I'll need to buy a different bumper/brackets?

Thanks,
Jacob
