Re: wing vent interchange

I installed the vent windows, arm rest and bumper guards today, found some damage to the small center brackets that mount the front bumper to the frame horn. I knew the truck was wrecked years ago and took it for granted that they had fixed it right. They didn't just hammered out the brackets and they fit and look terrible, going to have the frame horns checked while I have it apart. Any difference between C or K brackets? My truck is a K30, are 1/2 -3/4 brackets the same? Going back to the yard again ASAP.

Bumper brackets are the same. I used brackets off a k30 military truck on my 1/2 ton.

Sorry for the late reply. I used k30 brackets with the tow hooks that go through the bumper. Mine’s a k10. I parted out a few trucks and Suburban’s and never noticed any difference in bumper brackets.

Re: wing vent interchange

Excellent timing! I'm actually going back to the yard this A.M, bumper brackets, hood and a bed floor are on my list. I'll post the results.
