Re: lwb tp swb back bumper
If you have the longer springs there will only be about 2 inches of frame left but brackets should fit once new holes are located,,, Got any pics of your mods??

Re: lwb tp swb back bumper
73-87 trucks are longer than the earlier models. In 1973 they went to a wheel base of 131.5 for the longbeds and 117.5 for the shortbeds.
