I'm working on a 68 Chevy C10 and I'm running into an issue with my back bumper brackets lining up on the frame. Anyone have any advice?

check your tire pressure. or maybe the muffler bearings are going out, just a thought...

Were the brackets bolted to the bumper when you were doing this? If so I would loosen the bolts and try it. That and make sure they're not swapped side for side.

I had them on the correct sides but my bumper is for the stepside and the brackets are marked for a fleetside......that could be the issue.

the in side brackets should be the same but there is different ones for leaf and coil spring suspension
