I used a 67/68 C10 step side rear bumper, stock with stock brackets. I did however use 7/16" bolts vice 1/2" bolts as I had to allow for a tad more angle on the brackets without grinding out any holes on the chassis or brackets. The rear stock taillight brackets holes were dremel'd to allow for raising the taillights a smidge to clear the top of the bumper.
I also ran a ground line from the attaching taillight bolts on the bed (both sides) to ensure a proper ground there. I prefer that to the stock grounds.
