My story has a bunch of twists and turns...but I need the bumper mounts (from the frame to the bumper) for a '78 Royale that I bought last week. The story begins about two months ago when I crossed paths with an owner while I was travelling in my Southwind. I really liked the GMC and knew something about them from my cousin (now deceased) who lived in California and was a longtime GMC owner. He sold his some years ago but always had fond recollections of his GMC travels.
Well, I sold the Southwind and started looking. One in Georgia caught my eye and during my initial conversation, the owner said he bought it seven years ago from an elderly couple in California....(you can see what's coming)...it was my cousin's old GMC! He owned it for 30 years and the fellow in Georgia had it for seven. Kept in a garage all its life unless on the road....lots of accessories. Karma, I guess.
At any rate, in order for it to fit in my barn, I had to remove the front storage compartment and remount the bumper. Unfortunately, the mounts that run from the frame to the bumper are long gone. If anyone might know of a source, I appreciate your letting me know.
(P. S. The drawing of it is in the assembly manual on page 876...front bumper assembly)
