Default Bumper dimensions

Hi all , a friend of mine is rebuilding a no 12 cab chev quad.
He is missing the bumper , and the rear winch horizontal roller and brackets
Is there anybody willing to measure the length, hight, and thickness from an early folded bumper, also size of the jewell hole, and how far from the end of the bumper.
Thanks

Hi Maurice,

Give me some time and I will take measurements from my F60L. It's a Cab 13 and not a Chevy but a Ford, not sure if that's a problem?

I will come back to you.

Cheers,

Jos

Should be the same, except for the mounting holes , and brush guard.

Default Ford Cab 13 Bumper

Hi Maurice,

I made this drawing a few years ago for Ivo Rmoutil. It is for a Ford Cab 13 but some dimensions for a Chev cab 12 may be the same such as the overall dimensions and jewel holes. It may help.

Regards,

Default Bumbers

The early cab 11 bumbers , as was fitted on my C8, were folded from plate steel - these bumbers have a noticeable radius to the corners of the profile. Sometime during production, it looks like they changed the profile to a sharp edged C channel shape.Cast steel maybe ?

Mike there is no rule i think for folded against rolled. My C15 no11 cab has a rolled one .and some other no 11. Cab wrecks i have seen in the past also have rolled bumpers, but 12 cabs seem to have more often folded ones. Why?
