Default Rear bumper mounts for 39 P.U.

I am looking for a set of rear bumper mounting brackets for my 39 pickup. I have a bumper but no brackets. Does someone out there know where I could find these? Thanks. Randy

Randy, It is highly unlikely you'll find a set of authentic irons. And, if you do, they will most likely require a lot of work.

Remember that rear bumpers were optional - an option not often 'checked off" back in 1939. Couple that with the hard life these trucks typically endured and well, that likelihood of finding them continues to go down.

Hey Kube, I'm sorry to hear that. I very well may end up with replacements. Do you have any suggestions as to which repo might suit me best. Thanks

I think but am not certain that Drake is the only supplier, regardless of who sells them. Again, I'm not 100% certain of that.
I have heard his are formed correctly.
