Is the rear bumper bracket bolted to outside of 1 ton frame channels?
Does the bracket curve down ward or upward?
Thanks , Jerry

The 3800 panel rear bumper matches its front, curvature of its brackets are identical. They appear identical to the 3804 1 ton pickup front bumper. The 3804 one ton rear bumper is a breed of its own, being quite straight when comparing it to the one ton truck front and panel front/rear. If that is as clear as mud to you, then you understand it as well as I, Using a 1 ton rear from a panel will NOT work on a 1 ton pickup. Any questions, contact me. Jerry

UNIT indicates Panel body trucks) What parts book are you referring to? Pickup - front = 3700437/painted (3683347/chromed) - rear = no rear bumper listed? Panel front = 3700437 (3683347/chromed) rear = 3700437 (3673347/chromed) | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 396 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 396 | Wishful thinking by me Tim? , Maybe I read between the lines. Any how, you are correct. I was looking at that same parts book and recall seeing the same numbers.

I was surprised to find no rear bumper listed.
| | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 1,775 | A rear bumper was an option on the 3800 series trucks.
The rear frame widths on the 3600 and larger trucks was 36" with the exception of 6702 and 6802 chassis.
I do remember seeing a part listing for that had the same brackets and bumper for the 3600 and 3800 truck.
With that being said, a 3600 rear bumper would be a direct fit.
