Rear Bumper Brackets?
Scored a pair of real nice chrome bumpers, front and rear, for my truck... but can't find rear bumper brackets for the styleside, only stepside pickups. Anyone have a source, any ideas?
Thanks!

Found 'em...
I found 60 acres of old cars and trucks not far from San Antonio... wandered around for 2 hours, looked at 50-60 old Ford trucks. And there it was... a '68 Ranger with a bent rear chrome bumper, but absolutely perfect brackets. I enlisted the help of good 'ol Miguel, and 2 cans of WD40 and 30 minutes with an impact wrench later they were mine.
$45 (all I had on me), includes the 6 chrome bumper bolts...

PS: I'll be unloading my current chrome front bumper (straight, needs rechromed) and the most definitley '60's step-bumper... pics are in my gallery, if you know anybody who's interested.

MudinMan, yeah it was John's. Never seen the styleside on eBay, asked everyone selling bumper brackets on there and no one had them. The dirty 3 letter word company does not sell styleside brackets either.

JB...
It got dark and all I had on me was $45
Did I mention that I was going back?
MudinMan... I found John to tbe quite the opposite. He gave me the brackets, had his man remove them for me and rolled the sales tax into the reduced price (from $50 to $45), with a wink and a nudge... can't beat that!
