Why are 3/4 ton 47-54 Chevy PU rear bumper brackets
different?
1) Can I use regular 1/2 ton bumper brackets or do I need to buy the more
Expensive 3/4 ton brackets.
2) Are the bumper bolt holes different?
3) Why did they make the 3/4 ton brackets differently?

The rear of the 3/4 ton frames are definitely spaced closer together than the 1/2tons. I found a original pair in good shape on ebay. Good thing too because I hate bolting on “new” parts. 🤣 | | |
