In looking over the front bumper and brackets I might be missing part of the bracket. Looking at the wrap around portion of the front bracket, is there a piece that stabilizes the "wing?" If so a picture would sure be the ticket. thx, r :felix:
Roger,
There is an "L" shaped braket that bolts to the bottom of the blank plate and splash pan behind the turn signal and catches the last bolt hole in the bumper.

Roger,
Looked at mine last night after work. The bracket is bolted to the two out side bolts on the splash pan and filler, angles down about 45 degrees and then turns back at the bumper to catch the rear bumper bolt. It look like it is 16 gauge, has a 90 degree turn out on each side facing the front on the top and bottom. The turn out is just under 1/8". Hope this helps.
Bill
Thank you Bill.
Looks a couple parts I need to go round up.

Thank you Tom.
Turns out after Ron posted the picture I realized I had the driver. Yesterday Ranchero Wizard called to tell me he is sending two in the mail. Looks like my inventory is fat.
Thx again, r
