Does anyone know which bumper and brackets to use? My truck is a street rod abd bumper was removed and a rear splash pan added. Thanks, 1939 Panel

Do you have a panel truck(2 back doors) or a sedan delivery(one back door)....Joe See America's First...Chevrolet 1931 Sedan Delivery 31570 1933 Standard Sports Coupe 33628. 1934 Master Sedan Delivery Canadian 177/34570 1968 Z/28 Camaro 1969 SS 396 Camaro

It is a Light Delivery Truck(1/2 Ton rating) from an old Chev. truck spec. chart. It does have 2 rear doors. Reproduction parts suppliers have no info on Panel trucks. 1939 Panel

Six mounting brackets are required. The bumper is the same as 38 and 39 cars and trucks except it's pushed in at the center closer to the body to make loading easier. All these parts will be hard/impossible to find. The bumper boys chrome shop in souther California made a rear bumper for my 41 sedan delivery by bending a passenger bumper. All the brackets are two inch flat stock that could be bent up at home. I have a 40 suburban with a 39 rear bumper on it. If you decide to go this route I could make tracing of the brackets for you to copy. Jay

OP 1939panel Grease Monkey Joined: Mar 2012 Posts: 4 Ia.	41carguy, I got a bumper from Bumper Boyz that theysaid would work. It looks like it should. Ordered brackets from supplier,waited, they sent totally wrong ones. Ordered from Chevysofthefortys, received a set of 6, no instructions. Called them and they do not know installation. Do you know which piece bolts to frame and to which hole in frame? Maybe a picture? Thanks, 1939panel
