Rumor is the brackets you posted work for my truck. They don't, but can I ask what you installed them on?


For what it's worth, here's some info. about the parts. Incidentally, my frame is a 5.3/10" bolt pattern. The reason my application is different is a 5" bolt pattern wouldn't clear the shackle bracket. That and it's SWB frame, so the rear hole has to be further back in the frame rail.


I believe all the rest are a 5" bolt pattern. http://www.gmpartswiki.com/getpage?pageid=22606

Reads excludes leaf springs. Found an NOS on the Chevy site, it’s the bracket folks call “coil spring” inner brackets. The same part was used for the front bumper on 67-70 "pick-ups" (excludes 4x4)

3952089-90 - Inner Brackets. 69-72 Ser. 10-20 (4WD) (Pick-up)
Reads Rr. Bumper, which is rear bumper. No NOS available for reference. These are likely what folks call “4x4” inner brackets (see Richard's link for reference).

No reference found on the web for this bracket. Not surprising. My Chevy is an outcast

My outer brackets are an oddity as well........... There are quite a few hits on the web for this outer bracket, reproductions. They're referencing the wrong part number. Been 50 years now, stuff gets lost. The brackets they're selling fit everything but a 71 SWB 2WD with leaf springs, I can't speak for other years.

3892477-78 - Outer Brackets. 71-72 and more. Ser. 10-30 (Conv., 4WD), Blazer (Stepside, Fleetside) and more.
Reads “Aux. leaf springs excluded”. Can’t say what an “Aux.” leaf spring is, but OK.
This is the common outer bracket. Found an NOS on the Chevy site, looks like the typical outer bracket. Other than that nothing found on the web.
