Who's Front bumper Brackets?

When I first got this truck back in 95 it had front and rear bumpers from who knows what, the front looks like from a square body but I'm not sure, at any rate my new front bumper wasnt sitting quite right so I took the brackets off and I don't know what these brackets are from but they don't look like 69 brackets.

Check out the distance the back bumper is sitting from the truck.
I fixed the rear one but I don't remember what I did.

The picture is a picture of a picture but that's the only one I've got.

Bracket on the left came from the passenger side.

Question Re: Who's Front bumper Brackets?

So I tried to elongate the the bumper bracket hole in an attempt to push the bumper in a bit without much luck.
Well I tried anyway so I feel better.
Then I decided to remove the kick panel vents to see if there was any debris built up that needed to be removed.
Driver's side didn't have any so I went to put the diverter door back on...

I had the brake pedal pushing on the back of my head while the e-brake housing was shoving me in the forehead while I was trying to get a flashlight in there to locate the tiny holes the pins go in...yes it was all horrible.

Just opened the passenger vent in hopes of discovering nothing but of course it's full of mouse nest garbage, so I'll be removing that door tomorrow after I recover from the driver's side adventure.

Re: Who's Front bumper Brackets?

Hey thanks for the reply Getter-Done, I had no idea how ridiculous the whole issue was.
I removed the passenger bracket completely and apparently all the brackets might be the wrong ones, and I'm thinking I'd wind up bending the bumper or cracking the chrome if I continue messing with it.

Guess I'll have to return my Pebble Beach display invitation.

Re: Who's Front bumper Brackets?

I suggest trying to find a forum member close to your location.

They may have a Bumper and the correct brackets.

I posted that thread at lunch in a hurry just to provide info.

If you search the front bumper brackets / More.

There are several different brackets.

Re: Who's Front bumper Brackets?

Yea I have a new '69 bumper but I'm thinking the brackets are from that '73 bumper.

It just started to bother me recently and I might be the only one that cares so I'll probably just put the whole project on hold for now.

Thanks again for the replies.
