Rear Bumper Brackets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The flat pieces on the top are "dust" guards. They don't provide any structural support, mostly cosmetic. I think if you would bolt your brackets to the bumber first then you could tell where they need to go on the frame. You would need to have the bed on first, to get the proper fit. I don't know if you'll have to move the crossmember forward or not. Depends on how much you cut off.

If a man speaks in the middle of a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Forget about "do it right the first time". Do it wrong the first time to learn how, then do it right the second time.
