Heavy Duty Rear Bumper Brackets...custom or standard

I am cleaning up the rear bumper and brackets. On the bumper there are 2 almost straight S heavy duty brackets that hold the after market FARM bumper on the truck. One has been bent and the other has a crack in it by one of the bolt up holes.

Can anyone tell me if these came with or believe were customed up for a very heavy duty diamond plate bumper that is all 1 piece?

Ideas, etc. I've searched the forums for bumper bracket stuff..

Those were made by the bumper manufacturerer most likely but could have been home fabbed.

Perfect. I'm not sure I'll find that company. There's probably a decent welder that has a cutter and can cut new ones.

Thanks!

My 68 came with a step bumper and had the same brackets. Just a point! I got hit in the back and it moved the right side in around an inch but totally destroyed the front end of a van that did the hitting. I straightened the one bracket and good to go, strong brackets. Have a good one eh!
