I need the measurements where the front and rear bumper brackets bolt to the front frames and rear valances.

'71 B-body
I need the front bolt spacing and any offset (front to back) from horizontal
In the rear the holes are usually elongated so center to center would be fine.

I do not require side to side measurement.

A photo of each of those areas would also be awesome !!

Thanks in advance.

Are you asking for measurements of the holes in the brackets themselves, or of the mounting holes in the subframes? Are you making some dollies? I can help with the fronts, but I haven't removed my rear brackets yet.

Btw, if you're making dollies, I can show you what I did to incorporate a lifting bracket with the dollies (so you can install the engine from below).

This is exactly what I need. I build rotisseries and I have an order for one that needs '71 B brackets. The buyer thought the front is the same as an E-body and but wasn't positive. Your measurements confirm that it is. Now I need the rear.

Thanks,
Stan
