skydawg Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 The front bumper(extended) on my truck isn`t level.There`s no sign of anything being bent or damaged.Is there a provision for adjustment,or is something else the cause,eg,frame tweak or suspension? Thanks. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73755-b61-bumper-not-level/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Bumper or is it the grille shell sagging? Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

mattb73lt Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 If you think the bumper, bumper to frame extensions and the frame are all straight, I would look to the front radiator mount as the next point to check. There are two rubber mounts in there that support the entire front clip. They are on the bottom of the radiator support frame to which everything mounts and bears down on. If one has failed it can throw the whole front end off. You can use the same rubber mounts for the cab and transmission there. The originals were slightly different as the back side was cupped and made for a softer mount for the radiator. There's less weight there than on the cab or transmission. You can also shim those mounts with large fender washers to adjust if some thing is bent. Pctures would help to see where your alignment is off, as we're all guessing where things are off. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73755-b61-bumper-not-level/#findComment-545164 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeH Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Not level to the ground or not level to the hood assembly? Ground would be frame twist/uneven spring packs I'd expect, and to the hood assembly I'd be out of my league.
