I'm about to mount my front and rear bumper but need a reference as to what bolts I need . Anybody have pics of their bumper mounts from the underside view? Thanks in advance. Finally have enough extra cash to finish this thing!
 
Thanks! Do you have any of the bumper bracket to frame?
 
Thanks man, I am a little overwhelmed by all the work I have left on this car. I appreciate the help.
 
Rear bumper. Note my car had no evidence of having a second bottom bolt from the bracket to frame and it had never been touched according to the original owner, also the book does not show a nut and bolt set to go there either, so it went back together the same way.

We had to install a new crossmember for the rear and it doesn't have the weld in nuts. Do I just wing it and put a nut on a bolt?

If you can get your fingers in there. Who looks under there anyway :lol: But then again the nuts are welded to the brakets anyway, easy to do
 
Thanks man! I just ordered the fastener book because I don't want to drive all you guys crazy with my questions. I'll try not to wear out my welcome. Thanks again, I appreciate the pics!
 
And it's greatly appreciated, especially coming from a guy like me, who wasn't around when these cars were new, or even a 10 yr old used car.

I found that interesting as well... None of my B-bodies had a bolt installed there either. I went to a salvage yard years ago and found a '68 Coronet 4-door with a trailer hitch that bolted right up to the factory holes including that one.

Maybe it was there for a trailer hitch? :huh:

Could be, would a bumperett tie into that ?
 
I don't think so. The bumpers I had on Freebird had those, and there still wasn't anything in that hole.

Maybe the Dodge side of the house used them :huh:
