Need measurements please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OK, i just got my new tow bar, and I need a measurement off of someone's truck please. (I have no truck here and I really don't want to go to *her* house to look at the one ton)

Look at this pic, between the bolt where my old tow bar is hooked, and the bumper bolt above it...how far are they center to center? Can anyone tell me?

I have my new tow bar sitting here, and it mounts up a little different than that one did, and I need to figure if I need to fab up some mounting attachments, or if I can simply rip off the bumper and bolt directly to the frame.

Exactly 4 1/4 inches Andy.

I'll average these two replys out and call it 4 3/8 inch?

Anyone wanna confirm one or the other?

According to my digital micrometer, it's 4.25002, I can double check if you'd like.
