Rear bumper mounting question

New to the forum here, awesome information on here! I did a short bed conversion on my 68 c10 using the brothers kit but it is a leaf spring truck so the rear bumper mounting is completely different. I was hoping if anyone has a short bed leaf spring truck if they could pull a quick measurement on the rear mounting hole on the frame to get me in the ball park for drilling out the remaining holes. I searched the forums and found pictures but no measurements. Thanks in advance for any help and I'm excited to be a part of this great community!

Re: Rear bumper mounting question

I'm doing the same thing to my 68. I was planning on just mocking up the bumper and getting it to where it looks right and marking and drilling the holes. Not the easiest, but our leaf spring trucks are rare and there are different brackets out there so it's hard to find an answer about this particular subject.

Re: Rear bumper mounting question

Yeah that is true. I have both the coil and leaf type bumper brackets and they both seem to fit. I was just thinking if I got the rear hole in roughly the right spot it would be a lot easier to get fitted properly. I have a 77 short bed in storage that I'm wondering if it's similar mounting.
