1972 C 20 with rear leaf springs. Need sport bumper mounting brackets.

terry b · 07-04-2012, 01:38 PM

come on no one going to help me out. can i use coil spring brackets. or at least part of them?

If you have a long bed you will probably be able to use the inner brackets from a coil spring truck. The outer brackets will work.

Keith are you saying this will work on a 2wd leaf spring truck. I too been looking for a set.

**lolife99** · 07-04-2012, 08:59 PM

Classic Parts lists these and 2wd brackets.
As far as I know there are only 2 different sets of rear sport bumper brackets.

I'm guessing since all 4x4 trucks are leaf spring.
I was hoping someone else would chime in.

If you have a 4X4 or a SWB it takes one size of rear bumper brackets.

If you have a stepside, SWB with coil, LWB with coil, LWB with leaf, or a longhorn, it takes the other size.

The mystery is solved then we can use 4x4 brackets and we should be good.

Thanks

Where does the Sub outers fall into the equation?

terry b · 07-05-2012, 02:09 PM

Thank's the help was needed. I did not want to put the old HUGE bumper back on. Also yes it is a long box. Thank's again.

JimKshortstep4x4 · 07-05-2012, 08:01 PM

Sub outer brackets are the same as for the trucks.

Jim

**tll74** · 07-06-2012, 01:08 PM

So..are the outers the same regaurdless if it a PU, Sub, or BLazer and the inners are the only difference?

JimKshortstep4x4 · 07-06-2012, 07:20 PM

Outer brackets are the same regardless. On the 72 Blazers and Burbs, the frame was used for the inner brackets.

Did all 67-72 burbs use the frame for the inner bracket?
I know my old '69 burb did.

Terry,
What did you use that worked? I have a 1970 c 20 longbed with leafs and want to install a sport chrome bumper... was it a bolt on or did you do any mods? Did you install the filler panels as well? Any part numbers on the brackets?
