Can anyone provide me with the measurements needed to fabricate my own bumper brackets for a 1972 bus. Front and back.
Couldn’t find these measurements anywhere
Thanks so much ! Smile

That would be some fairly complex measuring, there's multiple angles and curves involved.

Classifieds search for "bumper bracket" in Bay parts:

Bookmark that link and look every week or so, if you don't like the prices or selection currently offered new ads come up all the time so keep checking. But you aren't the only one looking for one year only parts, so if something comes up don't fart around and jump on it instantly. You'll notice the 72's are shorter than the early ones, once you get familiar you'll be able to spot them in the bottom of the $ junk boxes at swap meets too.

You should be able to find them for sale in the classifieds. There were a couple for sale awhile back.
