Chevrolet 1533X2 30-cwt trucks

Hi Bob,
I'm looking for the brackets that raised the front bumper. It was a MCP/military bumper with 4 bolts through each bracket and bumper on each side. Some vehicles used these 4 bolts to attach a D ring plate. A bush bar was standard (So MCP), and the bumper was the heavy duty high 'C' channel bumper with a radiused curve along its length. My research show that the bracket at the chassi end had a mounting for a support rod that went through 'new' holes in the panel below the grill at an angle and attached to the bumper. If you look at the bumper head on you'll see 2 welded bolts either side of the bush bar where the rods connected. I've only seen it on 1500 series Chevrolets, all the 1533x2 of the LRDG, and some 1543 trucks.
