1951 Rear Bumper Brackets

[StudioJAK]

My question is how much different is the rear bumper brackets from the front??
Mine came with a huge ranch bumper on the end and I'm looking for rear brackets and a rear bumper..
this place is looking competitive in price
http://www.classicparts.com

but used brackets would be better..

I paid 45.00 for a used chrome bumper and rear brackets a few weeks ago at a swap meet. That was down from his asking price but what I wanted was the brackets.
I'm thinking about running a 54 bumper to get the dip in it for the license plate.

But figure in the cost of gas running around the countryside looking for a pair of good used ones against the 69.95 and shipping and it pretty well evens out.
I've bought some small items from those guys and their service seems to be pretty good. Ordered and then in my mailbox three days later.

Ya I'm searching through the local supply but that sounds like a heck of a find, found a banged up and beat front for $60 and the guy wouldn't budge. Thanks for the good word on the site. I feel better about it if I use them.

I looked on Ebay and That is the going price for new brackets from vendors there too

Their chrome rear bumper seams to be a pretty good deal too. I am headed out to the local hot rod salvage yard to see if their is a deal to be had.

I just got a new catalog from LMC in the mail and they have the brackets for the same price.

I went with classics parts, used "stovebolt" as the coupon code and got 10% off
Oh yea!!!

damn near paid for shipping

I cant say for sure since my truck didn't come with either front or rear bumpers, but in every catalog they appear to be slightly different and have different part numbers.

FYI, bumper brackets for 47-53's are the same part number as 54-55.1 bumpers...

Where is that "hot rod salvage yard"? I'm 200 miles away and if it would be worth the trip I might just go look myself. Thanks, Clay

Nick's auto salvage, hes running lean on classics trucks right now, I think hes got bit and pieces of three 47-50 pickups, but he always has pulled aside the good motors, rear ends, and columns for the hot rods. I got an 02 Bravada rear posi 3:73, 59" wide.. puts the disc rear calibers just out side the stock frame rails when its laid out.
