I assume GMCs would have a simiar mount? I'll take off the spare tire tonight and take some photos for you. I've tried to fool Yahoo Photos into allowing me to upload non-photo files, but they are pretty smart. I'll have to email/PM you dimensions.
Give me a day and I'll get back to you.

I'll have something for tomorrow afternoon. It is going to cost you, Dave. I'd love to see some more pictures of your truck besides that lovely grill!
I'm glad Phil posted his picture- it confirms that mine looks just like his so I have some confidence that it is stock.
There isn't much to it once you have the dims. I think this is something that could be knocked out with a basic torch/welder set-up.

Cliff | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 679 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2006 Posts: 679 | Not yet, but let me get into my glass replacement project and then I'll probably have a different opinion! ...and while I'm taking up bandwidth, start thinking about going to the Camp Bowie Sonic Cruise in FW. I was going to go last weekend but rain changed my mind. We ought to caravan, or better yet, get together a mini FW-area gathering and overwhelm the hot rods!
