Hello I'm trying to install my chrome rear bumper on my 1965 Fleet side SWB. I bought it from LMC with new brackets. When I bought the truck there was no rear bumper. So I would appericate any pics of brackets mounted to frame and bumpers Thank you in advance.

They were on fleetsides, I don't think step sides had them. Not sure if they were 60-66 or just 64-66. I don't know of any available reproductions that are accurate to the original panel, I had to make that pair. The '65 build thread in my signature shows how to make them.

I bought a set through Classic Parts of America and was happy with the quality. I dont think they were all that expensive either. For the fleet side too. They also have them for stepsides.

Those bumper brackets are confusing! I eventually figured them out, but in the confusion, I scratched my new paint with the bumper. rookie mistake.

Not sure, it had a fabricated bumper when we got it so I didn't have anything to go by. Anyone have pics of the original bolts?

Ran across this truck at a Ford parts shop (of all places!) and it had a pair of splash pans.

markeb01 has the splash pans on his stepside, not sure if that was a custom install by him, or if they were original
