Need a picture of how rear bumper is mounted to the frame?

My truck has a step bumper on it. It's bolted and welded on. I want to replace it with a stock bumper that I purchased from a member on here. After looking at stock bumper brackets I realized I have a cobbled mess behind my bumper. If anyone has a picture showing how their bumper attaches it would help me out big time.
Thanks, Matt

Not sure if it matters but what year is your truck? Fleetside or Stepside? I have a 62 Stepside I can get you some tomorrow morning if they will help.

Thanks the next time I'm going to be out your way I would definitely like to stop by and meet you and check out your truck. I usually travel down to parts galore in Flatrock at least once a month.

Thanks, I should have included that information. It's a 1966 C20 fleetside.

The first picture is the rear of my truck with the bumper that I'm removing. The second picture is the style of the bumper I'm installing.

No the picture of the bumper I posted was just for reference. I'm putting an original bumper off a C10 fleetside on it.

uhm... ok... but the photo you posted is a step side bumper... just so you know. The bumpers are different and so are the brackets.



^^^^ step side bumper, it wraps around the bed and points toward the fenders.

It looks like you have a 60-62 rear bumper modified to fit a 63-66 frame. The spacers between the frame and bracket aren't stock.

Here's mine.
