Rear bumper bracket set with hardware for my 1968 GMC K20 long bed fleet side frame - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I’ve been having trouble finding the rear bumper bracket set with hardware for my 1968 GMC K20 long bed fleet side frame. I’ve looked at the main online sites, googled like mad, and called local retailers. I can find ones for the short bed, but was told by Classic Industries that these won't work. Has anyone had luck finding these parts? Thank you.

Welcome from Denton, Texas.

Are you in the McKinney, Texas area?

I have a set that is currently on my 1968 C10 for the sport bumper style that I won't be using soon as I'll be putting on a "dealership style" bumper on.

Yes! I've been looking and a rep told me that the 4wd brackets are different than the 2wd brackets, but it sounds like from the comments below that the coil spring 2wd brackets will work. Are yours the coil spring 2wd brackets? How much do you want for them? Thank you.

I thought LONG BED 4x4 brackets were the same as coil spring 2wd brackets.

It’s the SHORT BED 4x4 trucks and 4x4 blazers that were different (and required a special bracket), since the rear leaf spring shackle is so close to the end of the frame rail.
