hobbes_the_cat Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Getting around to mounting the rear bumper on my 69 wagon and realized I’m missing the bumper brackets. FutoFab has new sedan brackets but before I drop the cash on them, are they they same for a sedan as a goon? If not can they be tweaked to work? I used to know this but I just can’t remember!

datzenmike Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Are they known as the bumper stays? Part numbers are vastly different. Wagon RH 85200-22900 LH 85201-22900 Sedan RH 85212-21000 LH 85213-21000 Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted August 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Thanks. Now that we know they’re different, I have to ask if anyone has used the FutoFab ones on a goon and modified them to work? Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Just looked at both Sedan & Goon. The Goon bracket is completely different............it "looks" like a pair of Sedan brackets per side, backed up against each other & welded together, but they are not.......... }={ .......kinda like this. Unfortunately the bolt hole spacings are different at the body. The bolt hole spacings at the back of the bumper look the same & I have heard that you can mount a Sedan bumper on a Goon, but you will need Goon brackets or be a good fabricator! Wish I had a set of Goon brackets for ya, but I'm pretty sure my buddy would notice if I stole them off his Goon!! TJ 1 Quote Link to comment
