The correct bump stops at the rear are the ones bolted directly under the chassis as you have shown in the fourth photo The correct ones for the front ones are as you have shown The additional bracket on the rear of chassis in the 3rd photo is a ring-in and is only bolted on  ( I know this because that c8 is the c8 i bought first and is sitting in my shed)

Thanks a lot Andrew for the information! Looked today at a '41 civilian 1.5 ton Chev I have for parts, and it has the same bump stops mounted under the frame. Still an odd place to position them as the springs would have to almost bend backward for the rear axle housing to contact them.
Didn't realise that was your C8 in the photo I used. How's the restoration coming along? Thanks again! David

No worries
Restoration hasn't begun on that one -That one is a major restoration project reserved for when i get a lot braver A lot of rust and mis-matched components  It would be a massive bump required to hit those stops

MISMATCHED COMPONENTS! Why, I've never heard of such a concept!
I can safely say at this point that all the quality parts I have used in the careful restoration of my C8 so far have all come from.....uhh......well....erm, well, they all came from trucks! Thanks, David

It will be good to see another c8 running around no matter what components gets it there
Should get along better than standard which is not a bad thing
