I'm looking for some pics. of the original rear bumper brackets on a 40 Chevy 3/4 T LWB w/step side bed. The ones I have are a 2 piece bracket but the parts in the catalogs show 3 pieces per side. Mine have been broken and a new one made for left side and it don't have the correct size of metal or the twist. Have seen another one and he has the "L" shaped bracket bolted to the bottom of the frame. I don't think this is right. Can anybody help me on this. MAB

check the lmc parts website they have a good diagram

I'm not familiar with that site but did go and look. I didn't see anything that told about diagram. What am I missing and exactly where do I look. It sounds like it is more a place for dealers to go. You have to be a dealer to order parts. That's not what I'm looking for, just info or some diagrams or pics. MAB

Send me your e-mail address and I will send you a photo of my '37 rear bumper bracket. Its very close to the '40s.

Here is the LMC site along with Chevs of the 40's. Others also list them.

Hello Joe,
Thank you for the links but LMC is for newer trucks and Chevys of the 40 and the other parts places all have different brackets than mine. Mine is 2 brackets where all the others are 3 pieces per side. 40chevypu
