Need pics of bumper bracket to frame

Rocket · Apr 28, 2013

I'm about to mount my front and rear bumper but need a reference as to what bolts I need . Anybody have pics of their bumper mounts from the underside view? Thanks in advance. Finally have enough extra cash to finish this thing!

Thanks man, I am a little overwhelmed by all the work I have left on this car. I appreciate the help.

Front bumper. Please excuse the dust under the car

Rear bumper. Note my car had no evidence of having a second bottom bolt from the bracket to frame and it had never been touched according to the original owner, also the book does not show a nut and bolt set to go there either, so it went back together the same way.

Thanks a million!

We had to install a new crossmember for the rear and it doesn't have the weld in nuts. Do I just wing it and put a nut on a bolt?

If you can get your fingers in there. Who looks under there anyway

But then again the nuts are welded to the brakets anyway, easy to do

Thanks man! I just ordered the fastener book because I don't want to drive all you guys crazy with my questions. I'll try not to wear out my welcome. Thanks again, I appreciate the pics!

That's what we are here for. To make things easier for the next guy and what we have learned.

And it's greatly appreciated, especially coming from a guy like me, who wasn't around when these cars were new, or even a 10 yr old used car.

I found that interesting as well... None of my B-bodies had a bolt installed there either. I went to a salvage yard years ago and found a '68 Coronet 4-door with a trailer hitch that bolted right up to the factory holes including that one.

Maybe it was there for a trailer hitch? :huh:

Could be, would a bumperett tie into that ?

I don't think so. The bumpers I had on Freebird had those, and there still wasn't anything in that hole.
