Thumbs up C8a front bumper

Gentlemen: On the front bumper of Chev C8A, there are 2 holes, one at either end. Can anyone out there tell me how far in from the end they are and what is the diameter. Imperial measurements, if possible. Many thanks.....Robert

Default Clarification

Hi Robert

Wanted to clarify which bumper holes you are speaking about, below is a picture of the end of my 1941 C60L. but I think it is the same.

Cheers Phil

Default 2 inch hole

Hole is 2 inches diameter with the center of the hole 2 inches in from the end and centered vertically. Bolt hole for the jewel bracket are 3/8" ID and are centered fore and aft on the top and bottom of the bumper and centered to the 2 inch hole.

Hope that helps

Phil
