Bumper mounting ideas for '53-'56 F100s, got any?

One of the last things i have on my list after the wiring is the exhaust. I want to run the pipes out the back under the bumper but am not all that thrilled about how low and far out the stock bumper hangs out there.I like the look of the stock bumper and i already have a super nice stainless one I'm using. What have some of you done on your trucks?
My dad's 56 has some kinda fabbed up brackets that bring the bumper closer in and up a little bit. Are different brackets available out on the market that relocate the bumper like this? Toss out some pics, I'd like to see what some of you have done.

The pictures may not show what I hope to but here is mine with the stock rear brackets



Here it is with the "Snugger" brackets as sold by Mid 50's and Hot Rods Trucks where I got mine

tacson- Thanks for the pics. Yep, that's what I'm after.

Sam- I looked 'em up in mid-fifty. Ouch! Little bit more than I wanted to spend on those pieces.
May have to figure out another way...
