Rubberman Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Thanks Charlie, let me know, I'd really be interested if the price was right. yeah 420, this one is 2 3/4 on the frame bolts. I bought a set of the bumperettes of ebay from thialand and they measure 9" for the mounting holes. For the price they're pretty good, not for a perfect show truck, but they're perfect for my truck. It wouldn't take much to make yours to fit the 9" bumperettes, this bracket looks like I could bend it out pretty easy to fit your 11 1/4 bumperettes.

datzenmike Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 that looks just like the ones I pulled off my 520, could you measure the distants where it bolts to the frame and where the bumperettes bolt on, center hole to center. I want to see if they are the same for the 520. thanks Only number I could find close to it was 85203 B0400 RH (passenger side) for Oct '68 and up. The LH mate to it is 85204 B0400. The chrome bumper part is 85003 14900 RH and 85004 14900 LH. Both are under $90 each, if available. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) HA thought you were putting 521 bumperettes on the 620. Only ever seen the heavy 200lb rear bumper that would survive an H2 ramming. For the 620: 85203 B5100 RH to 10 '75 and 85203 B5101 after that but they likely interchange. Probably added a small rubber bump thing so the tail gate was protected when let down??? 85204 B5100 LH to 10 '75 and 85204 B5101 after Edited October 13, 2009 by datzenmike Quote Link to comment

Hope I understand that right. Thanks for looking up the #s Mike... Quote Link to comment
Rubberman Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Here's a pic of the rubber bumps that go on the bumperettes. I got these off ebay from a thialand guy. He has them listed as the stops for the tailgate, which I thought I was getting, but he doesn't know what he's saleing. When I got them, I was like what the hell are these, alittle big for the tailgate stops. But when I got my bumperettes, I knew thats what they fit. If you can see in the pic of the back of the rubber, it has a square cut out to fit into the square hole on the bumperette and then use a small bolt, washer and nut to mount. Quote Link to comment
slam_dat_sun Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Well it sucks that you didn't get what you wanted bur at least you did get something that you can use :lol: Quote Link to comment
Rubberman Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Finally got around to cutting some metal and welding up a new bumperette bracket. Here's the way it looks for now, I'm not the best welder. Gonna drill some holes and do some test fitting and bending to get it right, then some paint and mount. I'll get some finished product pics up later. Quote Link to comment

Braden Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 hey rusty i like them, i think it will look better when you get your liscence plate mounted to fill up the gap in between them, looking good man keep it up:) Quote Link to comment
420n620 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 is there a way you can get the bumpers closer to the tail lights, the gap looks like to much space. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I think it looks good too Just a ?, looks like the passenger side is more towards the inside than the driver side? Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 those look sick but the ass has to go lower she looks like a cat i heat :P Quote Link to comment
ezcruiser Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Nice job Rubbs! What's the condition of the floorboards in that parts truck? Salvageable? I might buy that cab off you if it is... Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 i like the bumperettes, very classy looking with your paint. Quote Link to comment
slam_dat_sun Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I think it looks good too Just a ?, looks like the passenger side is more towards the inside than the driver side? I might be wrong but it just looks like the picture was taken at a slight angle . It looks to me to be good and Rusty was standing more to the drivers side of the truck snapping the picture . I'm just saying :lol: Quote Link to comment
Rubberman Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Thanks fellas, on them being off alittle, h2 your right. But like Slam said, I was at an angle when I took the pic and it makes it look worse than what it is. I half to put about a 3/8 spacer on the pass. side to even them up. I was just in a hurry to get them on and get some pics up. Bonvo, I agree with ya, I'm gonna lower the rear a bit, just got to find the kit. Everyone on hear says you can get them at any auto parts store, I just haven't looked into it yet. EZ, no man, those floorboards are shot. This is that truck we looked at up in Sevierville. You might be able to use some of it. I'll give it a better look, plus if ya need something off of it, let me know. Quote Link to comment
slam_dat_sun Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Yeah Rusty auto zone carries blocks to lower your truck , but some of the nimwitts that work for auto zone will be like duh um ok . So when you go to buy them you might want ask for blocks to lift your truck rather than lower it . :lol: Quote Link to comment
ezcruiser Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 How much lower do you wanna go? I have a set of 2 inch blocks I could cough up for you! Quote Link to comment
Rubberman Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 How much lower do you wanna go? I have a set of 2 inch blocks I could cough up for you! Hell yeah Ez, that's what I was plannin on going with. Do you have the U-bolts with it? How much? Or what can I do for ya in trade? Let me know. Quote Link to comment
ezcruiser Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'm not sure what size they are. I'll go get them sometime this week and give you the low down. Quote Link to comment
Rubberman Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Sorry Ez, couldn't wait. I went by Auto Zone and picked up a 2" lowering kit today. I'm sure it's not low enough for most of ya on here, but it evened it up for me and it's where I like it. Check for yourself. Before After Quote Link to comment
