This must be a rear number bracket mounted to the front on my 50???

solidaxel · 07-18-2014, 05:15 PM

The flashlight holder on the steering column looks to be in good shape, hang on to that!

Dang man I just got into searching for a body and thought I found the score with a guy who was 7 in the yard... said come pick one 1500-2k got titles... 600 was smoking... did he have the title at that price?

CaliforniaDaddy · 07-18-2014, 07:21 PM

No bill of sale, I'll get it all sorted out

CaliforniaDaddy · 07-18-2014, 08:27 PM

So is that a rear bumper bracket?

CaliforniaDaddy · 07-19-2014, 11:45 AM

I need the lower seat springs for my truck, anyone have a lead on some?

Root2812 · 07-19-2014, 10:17 PM

Just go to a junk yard and look for the big trucks. Same seats and really common.

CaliforniaDaddy · 07-19-2014, 10:20 PM

Oh right on thanks for the tip

Root2812 · 07-19-2014, 10:24 PM

I forgot to say that the Cab Over has a different seat with a notch. You want to look at the other big ones.

So can anybody help me figure out why the front bumper bolts don't lineup and why the front bumper is sticking out so far forward. Are the front and rear bumper bracket similar

BADAZ chevy guy · 07-23-2014, 11:52 AM

I don't know for sure, but it looks like the brackets are mounted to the frame backwards. And I seem to remember on my dad's '50 that there was a gravel skirt that filled the space between the grill and bumper.

CaliforniaDaddy · 07-23-2014, 11:59 AM

Yeah there is a filler that goes between the grill and the bumper but from what I've seen there should only be about 4 inches of a gap between the bumper and the grill' mine is sticking out way too far.

BADAZ chevy guy · 07-23-2014, 12:35 PM

Check out this page. Make sure you have the correct year brackets and that yours are front brackets and NOT rear brackets.

If you have any reservation about the money or effort you are willing provide, sell it now and don't look back. Getting this to a drivable condition will be no accident

nvrdone · 07-25-2014, 10:37 AM

Looks like you may have front brackets with a rear bumper. The brackets appear to be mounted correctly - long side to the outside. Front brackets are straight where they bolt to the frame & rear brackets have a "dog leg ". Front bumper has a distinct curve where as the rear bumper is flat in the middle.
Hope this helps

CaliforniaDaddy · 08-11-2014, 01:13 AM

anyone have a set of rear bumper brackets for sale?

imjeff · 08-11-2014, 01:20 AM

Probably a good time to upgrade your membership so you can post wanted and sale ads. It's worth the money just for looking!

CaliforniaDaddy · 08-11-2014, 02:06 AM
