Rear Bumper Help

Ducor Kid

Help!
I need a picture of stepdown rear end without the bumper installed.
My mounts were bend when got car and I removed the bent up ones without taking pictures that I can can find now.
I need to straighten them and weld them back on.
Thanks in advance,
Larry

There's three pictures in this album if that helps.  You'll have to wade through the others.

Thanks Steve
Mounts look a little different than my 1950.
They look stronger with more metal in them.

Side view of a '53 rear bumper bracket(s). Original purpose was to show LED lites behind bumper, not bumper mounts per se.

might help, don't know~~

Old Farmer,
Adalanto used to be in the service territory that I covered as tech support.
Are you also ex-Air Force?
I covered from Barstow to Paso  Robles down to Oxnard and back to Palmdale.
Richard,
Look like yours are also beefier than mine.
Thanks

Larry retired USAF 1989/22+ years. I worked for Lockheed ADP and lived in Victorville. As a teen always wanted to go to Murdoc drylake and witness the time trials. As they say be careful of what your wish! I was an active member of the CIC then. Newsletter editor at the time too. The best way to align you bumper mounts is to support the bumper and ends (bolt it together) and using the mounts align the bumper Holes. Good luck with your car.

I was only 4 years USAF. C-5A Specialist @ Travis AFB 1971 - 1975.
Thanks  again,
