Bumper Brackets
Ok gents and ladies,
How do the brackets bolt up??? Is it to the outside or the inside?? I got a pair of brackets from a yard that fit the bolt pattern on the truck but they only bolt up from the outside...Is this the correct way?

55FL... I assume you are talking about the rear brackets. They should bolt up to the outside. At least they do on my 56. I ordered a pair of repro brackets and each came with a large rivet holding the two pieces of each bracket together. I "thought" one part of the bracket should be on the inside and one on the outside of the frame...sooooo..I proceeded to drill out the rivet. It was only when I got my bumper and found it wouldn't bolt up that I decided to ask about that big rivet. Obviously, it was supposed to be there as the bracket mounts as one piece to the outside of the frame.
