Re: Need a measurement from someone with a sport bumper

Just checked mine - 8 3/4 " from bottom of tailgate straight down to bottom of bumper, measured straight behind each frame rail, hope that helps.

There is a shot of the rear bumper here : http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=201103

Just wait on your bumper to be 100% sure.

Re: Need a measurement from someone with a sport bumper

i work in a muffler shop (21+ years), wait on the bumper to get your exhaust done otherwise you are guessing too much on tip placement. the up/down measurement isn't the only measurement to consider, you've also got the in/out distance to think about.
