Does anyone have a picture of this bracket installed in a suburban?

Looks like a fleetside in bed mount.....where they the same as the burbs?

No - I see now that the bracket is a pickup part not for a burb. j

Good eye....I bet you could add the extra two bolts and like you said...would function the same either way.

My guess is, since the 'burb is a blind panel, GM used 4 large sheet metal screws to hold it where in a truck, you can get to the backside of the bed lip and they were able to use bolt and nut arrangement and hence needed less hardware.

Just thinking out loud. Wouldn't mind one of those brackets. Might have to fab something.

I'll keep my eyes peeled. Just found one for the fleetside around 2 months ago. I'll let you know if I come across another.

Here's pic of the mount that came in my 65 burb. It was bolted through the floor, nothing in the side.
