The spacers used are a casting in the shape of a dogbone (similar to the sideplates of a spring shackle), a very elaborate piece for the job they do when a slab of plate would have sufficed. They have the part number cast into them, C29Q-17776.
I had these spacers, but removed the bumper and misplaced them.  Would anyone have a couple for sale, or would someone be so kind as to measure the thickness of them and I will get some made up? |
A little bit spooky this thread Tony. Keith was explaining this to me only the other day when looking at the front of my truck.
I was all ready to put two massive bolts in there and tighten the things on the bumper to bend the bracket around.
I thought that bracket had been bent out of shape.
