Rear sport bumper - is this the right one?
I picked up a used rear sport bumper, assuming it would fit my truck. I did a mock up to get the brackets figured out and it just doesn't look right. Are there different bumpers for different trucks? Mine is a 67 GMC small window, swb. I wonder if the bumper I bought came from a truck that isn't interchangeable.
Here are a couple of pics - do these look right? I'm still trying to figure out the brackets, since the brackets for a SWB with leaf springs don't seem to work on my truck. Thanks for any ideas.

Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |

Re: Rear sport bumper - is this the right one?
There's only one style of fleet side sport bumper. They do mount funny and it doesn't seem right because the brackets are not parallel with the ground. They sort of angle down and the bumper seems tilted down but that's just how they are. There are two styles of center brackets but they don't really affect the bumper position.

No, that is not correct for your truck. PM me and I will give you the address on where to send it. haha
I believe that coil spring and leaf spring trucks have different brackets. I am not sure what the difference is but you may want to check for sure. |

Re: Rear sport bumper - is this the right one?
It just didn't look right as I was putting it in place, but after looking at a bunch of pictures of other trucks, I realize I was just looking at it to closely.
Thanks for letting me know I'm way overthinking this!

It does look funny, but that may just be the motorcycle jack, 2x4's, ratchet strap, and rod holding it up!
