Thanks Patrick73, now that you've cleared that up I can go back to other things on my mystery list.

Default Thanks

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their input.

Today I ordered a pair of the '72 - '73 rear outside bumper brackets. I am going to try and retrofit them to my '69 as soon as I get the bumpers back from the platers.

Dave, I know it has been over fifteen years, but were you able to modify the 72-73 rear outside bumper brackets to your 69? And if so how? - Thanks, Ron
