Rear bumper bracket measurements

[PJ 3]

I cannot seem to get my hands on some bumper brackets. I am changing my rear step bumper to the old style ramcharger chrome and was wondering if anyone had this type on thier truck. I need the dimensions of # 2 and # 3 in the picture below so that I can fab some up.

i have a flat ramcahrger bumper on my d350. i dont thihkn i have the #2/#3 mounts though. ill check it out for sure, maybe even get you some pics.

I'd appreciate that. The only concern I really have is the total depth so that the bumper doesn't protrude to far out the back. I'd like a snug fit.

its raining, might have to wait til tomorrow for pics. fwiw, ive had this bumper on 4 different trucks, a couple of which ive changed from the step bumper to this one. pretty sure my mounts look like the #5/#6 setup, but havent really looked at them since i put it on in october.

I have the old brackets from my step like 5 and 6 to. I'll do a mod to them. Raining here to man Thanks rumblefish

The weather cleared and I finally got to re-fab my old brackets. No mods were necessary for # 5 and I cut one inch off # 6 and run a small 90 degree piece to line up the inner carriage bolts. I like the old style ramcharger bumper because it matches the front , although the step style was nice for climbing into the back with the tailgate up. Here's the results !

The cause might be that you're playing with more than one tank and the goodies that ya got under the hood.............

Its pretty funny. There are islands off the bay where I live ( fish ). They have 500,000 dollar boats and all of us have 40,000 dollar boats. The fishing is that much different with in 15 miles.

They would put any newcommers out of buisness in 1 night. There have been plenty of gun fights, boat sinkings, boat fires, house fires. It took me 10 years to fit in in my own town.

Two towns down they hooked a line on a boat that was on the mooring.
They dragged boat and mooring out to sea and the mooring pulled the
boat down. They sunk his boat cause he was fishing traps that belonged
to a fisherman who got dragged overboard and drowned. The good ole
boys did not like that. PJ, people sure don't understand lobstering
and how bad things can be. I am sure you have plenty of war stories.

Maybe this topic should be transfered over to the lounge under the heading " lobster wars "

I remember you said that before. Time to look for a new business if it gets that bad.
