Good Morning,

I'm trying to sort details on my new to me March '55 sedan.

Are the bumper overrider support tubes different than the later (8/55) cars?
Mine are too short to reach the bumper bracket mounting holes by about an inch.

Thanks

Post up some pics, they should be the same. Have your aprons been pushed in.
It would be visible for any past collisions.

good points - I am surprised that your 3/55 has those ugly ram-protection over riders - every 3/55 I've ever seen, had beautiful small Euro guards and no towel bars - z

here's our 3/55 with Euro bumpers...

are you perhaps getting front and rear brackets mixed up?
i dont have any personally to compare but looking online theyre sold separately so i assume theyre different lengths.
