    Does anybody have specific measurements on where to drill holes in the front frame rails to mount an early model bumper? I've done some looking around on the forum and I can't seem to find any numbers... If anyone's got a template they could just list some inches off from I'd be appreciative.
    Thanks...

    shoot, i made a post asking the same question a few weeks back when i swapped mine. 71gold posted up a diagram and it was spot on accurate. if you want to search some of my previous posts from a few weeks ago im sure you'll find it

    good luck

    That's a great diagram Frank - I moved this to Special Topics for easy future reference.
