Plateaucal is correct. I jus looked at Deuce, a 67 and Ducky, a 69. The sketch below describes the two different shapes of the frame members and slightly different dimensions of the mounting holes. These dimensions are nominal and taken with a tape measure in one hand, and flashlight in the other, so they are only for reference.

Those of you waiting for your bumperettes, please let me know what type of frame member you have, or I can ship them to you with no holes drilled, your choice.

Thanks to Plateaucal for clarifying.

Also note that the ones with the cut out are for '69 and later.
Beyond any hope for intervention

Yes thank you for the clarification! Rick I sent you an email with measurements from my 69 which are pretty close to the ones shown. Let me know if you got it okay. Thank you,

I'm off to the supply house this morning to get some more steel. Anyone else looking for a set of these, let me know.
It may be a while before I fire up the bumperette press again.

Thanks,
Rick

RJiggy... Considered by many to be the GOAT when it comes to Patrol bumperettes... 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

I own two pairs of his work myself, and my only regret was that I didn't have him autograph them before he shipped them out. :D :lol: :D

I would like an early set as well with no cutout. My Patrol is a '67.

Three month review after installing these on my patrol.... Gas mileage has improved by 4 mpg, fender rust spots have vanished, and my brakes don't pull to the right anymore. Absolutely amazing!

But seriously, great work Rick, love mine :)
