Rear Bumper Bracket Kit | 1948-72 Ford Flareside

Four pieces. Twenty-four years of Flareside beds. The gap between a Flareside bed and a stock rear bumper is the first thing that dates the back of the truck. Wide; uneven; and usually not the same side to side. This kit lets you take that back. From the stock location the bumper can come up 2 inch and in 3 inch; and the slotted holes give you every position between. You set the gap by eye; then tighten. Slots matter more than they sound. A fixed hole gives you one answer. A slot lets you square the bumper to a bed that has been off the truck once or twice already. Bolt the brackets loose; hang the bumper; walk back and look. That is the whole job.

  • Closes the bed to bumper gap - up to 3 inch in from the stock location.
  • Slotted holes - you dial the position instead of taking the one the factory gave you.
  • Raises the bumper 2 inch - the bumper face lines up with the bed instead of hanging below it.
  • Four pieces; one order - both sides of the truck in a single kit.
  • Covers 1948 through 1972 - one bracket kit for five generations of Flareside bed.
