suburban rear bumper brackets

[63burban4x4]

Anybody know if the rear bumper brackets for suburban and pickups are the same? I think the bumper itself is suburban only, right? Also, are the brackets the same for 60-66? thanks

No, the rear brackets are specific to suburban and panels. Completely different from trucks.

Also, from what I know, there are 60-62 bumpers and brackets and 63-66 ones. The frame is a different width IIRC. It's not much different between them but enough they won't cross over from one to the other.

The63-66 burb rear bumper bolts straight to the frame with no brackets, except the outer braces which are similar to the front bumper outer braces, but shorter.

thanks. I've got an extra set of braces from a 64 sub I'll be putting up on the classified side, thought they were suburban only but I wasn't sure.

I think panel uses the same as burb.

[63burban4x4]

Right, I assumed that panel & suburban used the same thing. thanks

Re-reading this, I want to make sure I've referenced the correct parts. I know the 63 & up bumpers bolt right to the frame, did not know there was ever a "bracket" for that, sounds like the earlier had some kind. No matter, that's not what I'm asking about. Reading the replies, what I am asking about is (apparently) referred to as "braces", not "brackets". I bought a rear 65 suburban bumper (known to be, I removed it from the original truck) which includes the outer "braces". I want to verify that these are different from the pickup trucks, and only 63-up. Sounds like it, but just to double check. thanks again.

That is my understanding. The outer brackets/braces are '63-'66 burb/panel specific and are different than truck ones.

OK, thanks again.
