Rear bumper Question

I might upgrade my current rear bumper on my 67 C10 to the sport style rear bumper. Are the brackets the same for both rear bumpers or will I need to get new brackets as well? Thanks.

Arrow Re: Rear bumper Question

In addition, there are different brackets for coil spring versus leaf spring trucks.

Re: Rear bumper Question

My Step Bumper, [SAF-T-BUMPER] is supported by a pair of rails that slide inside the rear frame rails. The angular side braces are not used.

Sort of. Op needs to measure the frame rails bolt pattern. If 7.1" it takes the longer inner brackets. If 5" the shorter ones, and both take same outer brackets. If 5.3 then likely need to make something. I'd b interested to know if its not 7.1 or 5.0. If 5.3 I can help.

I developed an assembly information kit for restoring my truck from nuts and bolts. It's written in Assy. order, short & simple, packed with all OEM hardware ID; castings; part ID; 100s of part numbers; wiring simple - Resource, and trivial too.

Much info. applies to all 67-72 GM, A/C vehicles, esp. trucks W/O saying. Full search ability, including to 700+ images of illus., parts, charts, Assy., points of interest, cab, bed, & front clip cart plans- Specials and cores were serviced out and R excluded e.g. front/rear glass, body/paint, engine core, rebuilt hinges, steering box, trans, etc.

The project was in-line with long former professions developing process, policy, specs, demo, written for novices, admin., policy, engineers, development, systems & test - Public & govt 2, gross. Sell soft copy cheaply, PM if interested.
