(DO NOT FILL THE TEEPEE WE WILL DRILL) The bumper bracket must be attached and touch the bumper. Bumper bracket must be welded to the first 15” of the frame. Do not remove and relocate the factory core support mount. On the back side of the bumper where it meets the frame you may use a 1/4” x 6” x 6” plate to create a flat mounting surface that must be between the frame and bumper.

If you are running a CADI and do NOT understand these options, please call

BACK BUMPERS
Must run a factory oem loaded or non loaded back bumper. Bumper can be seam welded but must remain with its factory face and back. Do not change the shape or size of this bumper. The back bumper cannot be any lower than 16 in. This will be measured from the ground to the bottom of the frame rail. ANYTHING UNDER YOU’LL CUT UNTIL IT'S RIGHT! You may use a bumper flip plate or bumper shock - not both. Bumper flip plate can be welded and must only mount on the outside of the frame and can only go 1 in. past the bumper shock mounting bolt. 1⁄4 in. thick max. After your rear bumper is mounted you can weld a 3”x6”x1/4” bumper strap from your bumper to frame or the bumper to the body. Not both!

On 1970’s GM station wagons, the rear bumper must be in the factory location. No exceptions!

OLD IRON rear
If you choose to use stock bumper brackets “for that car” it can only be welded 6” max on the top side and bottom side. (6 inches top 6 inches bottom) If you abuse this rule you’ll lose it!!!
