Front bumper bracket question

I have a 1970 2wd C10 with power steering. I have new bumper brackets and the left side hits the steering gear. Should I just grind a notch in it? Has anyone else experienced this same problem?

Thanks for any and all help.

My '69 is a C20, but I think the brackets are the same as the C10 brackets, and the 69s use the same brackets as the 70s. I have no clearance problems with the original brackets. Are you sure you have them on the right sides? Below is a picture I took of mine to ID them.

When I put the power steering on my truck I had to notch the support. The factory PS trucks came with the bracket that fit around the steering box

Had to notch mine with power steering as well.

Thanks for the replies. I feel better now knowing it wasn't just me doing something wrong! So did y'all just use a grinder and grind a notch in it?

Exactly, took about 5 minutes. No biggie with the right tool. Don't even notice it was done unless your looking for it.
