Kurt,
The rear bumper is the same as the front. If you know you are going to
paint it you can pull one from the junk yard. If you are looking for a
chrome one you may do best to buy a repro. The repros are available in 2
flavors - there is a stainless that shines great but crunches easy, and
there is the steel that has been chromed, heaver but not as shinny and
chrome someday could flake off.
The bracket is not the same in the front and back. Remember that the frame
is a wedge shape so the attachment in the back are spaced farther apart.
The brackets bolt to the frame ends. The rear bumper brackets are VERY hard
to find as originals. There are several companies that carry the repros for
around the $100.00 price (try Jeff at BowTie Bits). They are all six pieces
and are very easy to install. Also, you will need bolts (bracket to
bumper). If you are going original then you should look at the $10.00 oval
chrome bolts, if your are just putting it on to run then you can get $2.00
carriage bolts that are round and look good.
Good Luck,
NHJim
