bumper bracket

On my 75 I removed all the shock absorbing systems from both the front and the back including both bumpers and backing plates. I bought fiberglass bumpers and fabricated aluminum brackets to tuck both bumpers close to the body. I don't have the front finished yet but I weighed everything I removed and subtracted the glass bumpers and aluminum brackets and saved almost 300 lbs!
I intend to have both bumpers done with CosmiChrome when finished. Of course I no longer have any collision protection front or rear but the weight savings is what I was after in the first place. Dan
