Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck

I'm thinking that you have a rear bumper and brackets for a '60-'62? The '60-'62's have a wider frame in the rear. The '63 and up frames should be 34" wide.

Re: 1963 GMC C30 panel truck

I cut off the rivets, attaching the extension to the frame, swapped the extensions around. I added 1 1/4" square tubing. Just have it dry fit now. Will have to weld on some plates for the bumper brackets. Should work out
