A couple new worms for the can.................

I now know that my bumpers are 36 based onthe pics/drawings supplied by you guys. I just bought (for $100 on Epay) a set of front brackets that are "supposed to be" 36. I wish I knew the difference before I bought them so I could have asked the right questions and got pics to see if they really are 36 with the downward tilt on the outer bracket. Here's hoping.

Next worm? The rear brackets seem to fit either bumper but, on a 36 they tilt slightly down on the outside to meet the bumper hole. On a 35 they would be level. Was there a different bracket for the rear each year?
