Help, got 51 GMC 1/2 ton longbox, got new bumper and filler panel from CD, was expecting to mount on cleaned up bumper brackets that came with truck but after mounting together, the brackets are some 31" apart where they would bolt to frame. frame is some 25" there. tried putting brackets on reversed but they just get wider apart. are GMC Brackets different than Chevy for this, CD seems to think so.
when i got out the older bumper (so bad i could not clean up)to compare it was shorter than new one which is why it would fit onto truck.
i got 2 new bumpers from CD, i am assuming the one that is more curved is the front bumper and the rear bumper is the straighter one.
if i need "GMC" brackets, does anyone know who might supply these. CD says i should start looking around in junkyards.
:confused:
