Are rear bumper brackets for a leaf style R-end truck the same as the coil style R-end ? I have a 1972 GMC fleetside that needs a chrome rear bumper.

The outers are the same. The inners are shorter on the short trucks with leaf springs, but you can cut the long ones off and make them work.

Thanks Jim . My truck is a short bed Big Block Truck. Maybe I will post a wanted thread for the correct ones on the parts board.
