When restoring or repairing classic Chevrolet and GMC trucks, Brothers Trucks offers a specialized lineup of bumper mounting brackets engineered specifically for vintage truck enthusiasts. Founded in 1995 to serve the 1947-1987 GM truck restoration market, Brothers Trucks has built its reputation on manufacturing components that deliver factory-quality fitment with modern durability improvements.
Heavy Gauge Steel Construction for Long-Term Reliability
Brothers Trucks bumper mounting brackets are constructed with heavy gauge steel, then EDP coated, to provide high strength and corrosion protection. This electrodeposition coating process creates a uniform protective barrier that prevents rust and oxidation, making these brackets suitable for both restoration projects and daily-driver trucks exposed to the elements. Unlike thinner aftermarket alternatives that can bend under stress or corrode prematurely, Brothers brackets maintain structural integrity over decades of use.
Factory-Style Replacement and Tucked Design Options
Brothers Trucks produces two distinct categories of bumper mounting brackets to serve different restoration philosophies. Their factory-style brackets replicate original equipment specifications for concours-correct restorations, featuring proper mounting hole placement and dimensions that match GM's original engineering. The tucked brackets pull the rear bumper inward enough to take up the unsightly factory gap between the rear bumper and the bed, providing a greatly improved look while maintaining an OE appearance. This innovative design appeals to builders seeking a cleaner aesthetic without compromising the classic truck's original character.
Complete Kits with All Necessary Hardware
Bracket kits include all 4 brackets as well as all necessary hardware for installation. This comprehensive approach eliminates the frustration of discovering missing fasteners mid-project, and ensures that all mounting hardware has been properly matched to the bracket specifications. The inclusion of frame-mounting bolts streamlines the installation process for both professional restorers and weekend mechanics working in home garages.
Application-Specific Engineering for Classic GM Trucks
Brothers Trucks designs their bumper mounting brackets for specific year ranges and body styles within the classic GM truck lineup. Their catalog includes dedicated brackets for 1955-59 stepside models, 1967-72 C/K series fleetside trucks, 1971-72 4WD K-series applications, and the popular 1981-87 square-body generation. Special brackets are reproduced to allow the mounting of the popular "smooth" bumper instead of the outdated "step" type, giving builders flexibility to update the appearance of their stepside trucks while maintaining proper structural support. This attention to application-specific requirements reflects Brothers Trucks' deep understanding of the classic GM truck restoration community and the unique challenges these projects present.
