Just to help you in your search, 67-72 GMC are all the same. They are also the same as 67-70 Chevy. The odd ones are the 71-72 Chevys. Since the driving lights were relocated to the bumper a longer bumper bracket was necessary. Good luck

These were supposed to be off of a 72 4x4 Blazer with leaf spring front when I ordered it on ebay for my 71 k10 but they're too short for 71-72. Maybe his 72 blazer had a different front end. Check out the pics and measurement. Maybe you or someone might recognize which application it is for. If this is for the front of a GMC then I'd trade. If they are for the rear then I would keep them.

Instead of bothering with the hassle of going after the seller, I decided to keep them. He swore he took it off the front of a 72 4x4 blazer and not GMC.

Greenhorn, I believe those are the oouter rear bumper brackets.

easy4, I think I have some for your gmc and would be willing to trade. Do you have a way to take pictures of yours?

Those brackets are not 71 or 72, they would have a concave area near one end to clear the parking light harness. I believe those would be rear outer sport bumper brakets. The small bolt hole on top of the c channel is where the gravel shield bolts to.

PICKUP MAN I CAN GET PICTURE BY MONDAY EVENING I AM AT WORK AND WILL NOT BE HOME TIL THEN BUT THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.
THANKS EASY4

I knew they were not the front 71-72 chevy 4x4 because it was too short for my 71 K10. But if they are for the rear sport bumper then I don't feel too bad because I may use them someday.

thanks Richard, Pickupman
