Bumper - Right side up? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is there a top and a bottom to our 47-53 bumpers? A right-side-up, and an upside-down way to mount it?
It seems like bumper is slightly different top to bottom, and I don't know which way it's supposed to mount.

In the attached picture (if that worked) it looks like the bottom (or the top) cuts in slightly more.
I think I have it upside down...

I've never seen much of a difference on the ones I've had. A used one will probably have marks on the bottom side from being scraped over stuff though.
