620owner Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Does anyone have the dimensions on the rear bumper brackets for the 620. I found this image online, I'd like to fab a set. Better yet if someone out there has a set i'm your guy. I bought the cheap knock offs from China. 1 Quote Link to comment
The Taterhead Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'm pretty sure those are for a 521. The only bumpers I've seen come on a 620 were these A 521: 1 Quote Link to comment
tdaaj Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Top brackets look like 320. You could get those bumpers on 620's though 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 320 bumperettes and brackets are smaller than the 520/521 bumperettes and brackets. The 520 because of the smaller tail lights take a straight bracket and the 521 because of the larger taill lights take a curved bracket. The 620s and 720s in other countries cam with the bumperette option but I personally have never owned a set of brackets off of either of these model trucks. I am guessing that the 521 bracket would work on the 520/720. I do not have any bumperettes or brackets for sale. 1 Quote Link to comment
620owner Posted July 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 This is my 620, I'd like to either Blackout or Whiteout the DATSUN on the tailgate and add the Bumperettes. I found another photo online but I want to position mine closer to the tail-lights (Not sticking out so Much) 1 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 You know where you want the bumperettes so build bracket to fit where you want. 1 Quote Link to comment

hobospyder Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I would share an image of my truck with 521 brackets and bumperette on so you could get an idea of where they sit but photobucket and I haven't fixed. 2 Quote Link to comment
620owner Posted July 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I have the step bumper brackets. So I cleaned ts.hem up. I'm thinking of re-engineering them for the bumperettes. I noticed that they are made different, drivers side bracket is not straight like the passenger side. This is what they looked like before I took them off. They looked perfectly centered comparing were they align with the tail lights. Thinking about remounting and cutting them and just adding extensions to the bumperettes. Kinda hate to cut them up though. Got any other ideas on how to proceed ? Quote Link to comment
G-Duax Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 How much do you want to send a tracing of those plates to me? 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I noticed that they are made different, drivers side bracket is not straight .. This is what they looked like before I took them off. They looked perfectly centered comparing were they align with the tail lights. Thinking about remounting and cutting them and just adding extensions to the bumperettes. Kinda hate to cut them up though. Got any other ideas on how to proceed ? I wonder if they are suppose to be both straight... I would venture to say that bumper got hit at some point in it's life.. Either way Personnaly I wouldn't cut them but just use as a templet... I would redo the whole plate to suit your need.. it's just flat metal with holes, plus you'll always have the original for reference .... And if you mess up you didn't just ruin something obsolete.... 2 Quote Link to comment
620owner Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'm tracing out templates, sending one off for G-Daux. I'm going to primer and paint these brackets up and just cut new ones. Crashtd420 I'm taking your advise. No sense destroying originals. Quote Link to comment
620owner Posted August 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Got the bumperetts on the 620. I fab some brackets. Here's how it came out. Bracket: Finished Look 4 Quote Link to comment
G-Duax Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Nice ! And thank you for the tracing. I want to go old school hot rod nerf bar look, a small oval each side, probably out of 3/4" stainless round bar, so I can polish them up. Quote Link to comment
rolemodelrick Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Hi. Been on the hunt myself for my 520. Got side tracked on so many other things needing attention on my truck but ready now to get these bumpers addressed. Would u be open to sharing your trace or even building those brackets for me? Thanks for the consideration - Rick Quote Link to comment
