Re: Front Bumper Braket I.D. Thread

I figured blasted in some way. I have a commercial/industrial painter who does all that for me. Sure makes for a nice finish...and superior adhesion! Looks ever bit as good as powder coat. The guy I mentioned uses epoxy primer and always asks, "Why do you want to power coat?" I was all about the powder coat for years going way back. Had a shop that had been doing it for decades, a leading national shop, not 10 miles from me, and we had a great relationship. He retired and not so sure about the new guy. He turned me off on my first inquiry. A good urethane job does the trick!

Re: Front Bumper Braket I.D. Thread

I'm bringing this thread back so I can show what I have so we can work this down to the nitty gritty. I took a picture of them all.

The one with the light purple dot, upper right, is marked 60-66 Stepside.

The dark purple next to it is very similar and I wonder if it's a 67-72 Stepside or the mate to the 60-66.

The red dots are 67-70 front with the pairs circled. I had one marked '68 C/10.

The yellow dots are not exactly the same as the red but almost. They look like they would interchange. The upper end in the picture has more squared corners and the two holes in the straight area are missing. When you lay one on a red dot they fit the same as another red dot.

The blue dots are much longer, I believe they are '71/'72 Chevy

The green dots are slightly longer than the red dots, not as long as the blue. Maybe an earlier year?

Thanks a lot man, I'm colored blind I think blue dots (front row) are 71-72, though I can't say for sure, have you checked the parts book to see what years differed?

If you like measure them, I'll measure my 71 so you know for sure.

Re: Front Bumper Braket I.D. Thread

I can add slashes or symbols for you, but you have the right blue ones I think we are right about those. Only those are different due to the lights in bumper. The three in the middle of the top row (yellow) are a variation of the three to the left, two to the right, and three lower left (red). I'm curious if anyone knows why the difference, a certain year or maybe different vendor?

The ones I'm not sure on are the bottom right (green) and the inner one top right, next to the one I know is 60-66 Stepside. Pretty obvious it is also a Stepside bracket

Re: Front Bumper Braket I.D. Thread

Any insight on the green dots? Lower right for those who are color blind

Re: Front Bumper Braket I.D. Thread

No, all the same. These brackets I can't identify are longer than 67-70 2wd and shorter than 71/72 2wd. 71/72 are different only due to clearing the turn signals in the bumper. So 67-72 GMC 2wds are same as 67-70 Chevy 2wd.
