Does any one have a pic of how the rear bumper brackets are mounted of a fleet side.

Thanks,

Here's how mine are. I was in the same predicament and someone sent me these. Hope they help?

Good timing. I've had all the pieces to install a painted fleetside rear bumper but have been waiting to purchase a receiver hitch. The PO had built a heavy duty rear bumper with an integrated rear receiver. The home made bumper works good but I like the stock look better.

Are the brackets for SWB and LWB the same?

Yes should be, also you can find alot of good parts schematics in LMC catalogs!

I read somewhere you can move up to the next bolt hole and it will tuck the bumper up closer. Has anyone heard of that? I 've not tried it yet.

It seems I may be missing some holes, do have one elongated slotted hole a ways back but nothing close to the end of the frame rail. I may be doing some drilling it looks like.

I have the blazer tank in the rear so makes it a bit more challenging.
