Rear Bumper Brackets

[Richard]

The bumper on my 72 SWB 4x4 sits much closer than that (leafs). I did push my bed as far back as it would go. Will try to get some pics up. I decided to use reproduction brackets as they had to be modified somewhat. The reproduction brackets are manufactured a bit different but are identical in measurements to the OEM SWB brackets I have in hand that were previously on the truck. Note that the frame end on 71shortbed402's truck looks different than mine. Mine does not have the bump out behind the rear spring hanger. Remember posting some pics in his bumper thread.
