Does anyone know what these are for?

They used to bolt to the back fenders. Many of these bumpers were also cut out to allow the tail gate to drop all the way down. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 164 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 164 | I bet those holes are from an old farm bumper, like the one in the picture here. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 | Dual exhaust pipe extension bracket mounting points.

X2 I picked up a fender at a swap meet for my truck and it still has marks on it from an aftermarket "wrap around" bumper. It has a "rivnut" still in the fender that was used as the bumper mounting point. Here is a photo: http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2783888980103882008CnDvzB | | |
