Glad I looked at this thread!

Previous owner put an aftermarket painted bumper on my 68 C10, and never installed the outer braces, but gave them to me in a pile of parts. Well when I went to install them I realized they were too short and wouldn't fit but never knew why (its like they would have need a 1" spacer block on the frame to attach).

Clearly the PO must have installed an aftermarket later year bumper with the wider spacing and that is why the outer bumper braces don't fit. I guess I need to find me a set of the 71+ braces now!
