I was looking over the pics and it looks like some of the rear frame has been cut off too.
Shouldnt be too much of a problem though,if you plan on running a "sport" bumper then you will just need brackets like off a truck to use.Or try to weld in some frame from another 72 K5 or jimmy to replace what's gone.

I think 1972 frames were like that.

Yeah, it looked a little short, but there were no cut marks or anything. It must have been done long ago for a homemade bumper or something. I don't think it will be much of a problem though. Like you said, get some brackets, or I'll just fab some from plate steel and build a stout bumper with hooks or shackles on it.

As far as the back end goes, my biggest worry is the gas tank. It's been banged pretty hard and I don't know if it leaks or not. At least they left the gas cap on.
