Hey all I have a new 67 to 72 rear bumper. Any one try to put one of these on our year trucks? I held it up there looks like it would look kinda cool. Would kust have to make some brkts up. But would like to see one on a  truck before i go though all the work.

I don't have pics, but I have seen it somewhere on another forum I think.

It won't just bolt up, tried that many years ago but a friend of mine did it to his and just had to fabricate the brackets. It tucked in pretty good but you may end up with a gap and exposed bracketry unless you use a filler panel or bring it in real close.
