Are panel and Suburban rear bumpers and brackets different than pickup rear bumpers and brackets?
I have a bunch of bumpers, can someone help me identify them?
Note the two on the right have the same curvature but different brackets. The first and third have different curvature but the same brackets.
The only thing I can figure is that panel trucks had a more curved rear bumper or different brackets?
Or someone is just screwing with me and throwing random bumpers and brackets into my parts pile ;-)

The front and rear brackets will be different but the bumpers will be the same .
Panel/suburban/canopy express use the front bumper on the back as well.

IIRC, my panel rear bumper brackets are different than pickup brackets. They dip down to clear the rear valance.

As Tim posted above:

http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/parts/1929_54/447.htm

SGL unit is panel body
Same bumper bracket front and rear on 1/2 ton
Same bumper bracket front and rear on 1 ton

And, as also posted above, 1/2 ton and 1 ton panel body trucks do not have the the same rear bumper brackets as same-sized pickup trucks’ front bumpers.

Okay, I get it now!

So I'm thinking that the brackets on the far right in my photo are panel truck rears (even though the bumper itself is pickup).
