Rear bumper measurement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Doing a chassis swap and stock bumper irons won't work. Going to make my own but I need to get close.

Can I get a measurement bottom of box to top of bumper and back edge of box to back edge of bumper.

Here is how I am holding the bumper for bracket fabrication, angle iron and 1/2" all thread.

Just not liking where its at

Thanks!

No, I guess the question was too hard.

I have a 47 with a stock bumper. What year do you have? I also have the filler that goes in there.

this is what I can get for now. I can get better if I get home when it is light out sometime or this weekend. Need more light. Also any angles you want? any particular shots or measurements?
