How to install rear bumpers

Is there a diagram of how to install REAR bumpers on a 29 Roadster Pickup

I've never seen a diagram ... but I did consider putting a rear bumper on our Roadster Pickup so I could install a bumper hitch.
I crawled under a lot of trucks to see what jury rigging was required and found that there are lots of ways to do it. Ultimately, I decided against it. "Homer" goes commando -- the way Henry intended.
I recommend you spend the summer looking at what other guys have done. Take pictures. Then, when you find the best, most solid way to do it, acquire the parts, install the bumpers, and publish a how-to in The Restorer or Model A Times.
If you make it look good, I might change my mind again.

You are aware that they did not have them originally, yes?

On mine, I bought some bumper supports that had been previously lengthened (+6") from here on the Swap Meet, got the bumper bars and bolts from Little Dearborn and this is the result:

(BTW, do a search here, there are several strings with pictures of what others have done)

I came across a couple of the pictures I had of trucks that had "after market" bumpers on them. Obviously, the bumpers and a good deal of the attachments and arms are borrowed from cars. The "stands" have to be tall -- or shimmed out with blocks.
