No pictures until at least tommorrow afternoon. But it pretty easy if you got the bumper mounted it'll show itself. On the section of bumper that wraps around the front end and heads towards the tire is a elongated slot. This is where the bumper bracket mounts with the single hole of the bracket. Uses a clip that acts as a nut. The other end will go to a section of frame that has 2 holes into it and is to a right angle from the main frame. If the bumper was mounted in position and the bracket left loose on the one bolt into that elongates slot, wouldn't take much to figure out where it reached!!

the holes that it mounts to/thru in the bumper, they wouldnt happen to be squared off on the ends, would it? i got the s10- not sonoma bumper and brackets from the dealership for about 100 bux total :D the end brackets that you can see in the fenderwells are different on sonomas and s10s, but the parts gut who i am friends with (and that is not how i got the deep discount) says that the frames themselves are the same (i.e. reg cab s10 frame will fit a reg cab sonoma). i was just curious because the 3 peices are sitting in my basement right now and i was trying to figure out how they go together. the frame brackets have little nuts welded on them that the mounting bolts go thru the bumper and into. that is all for now i am going to go check to see if i can put it together...

Mine arent squared off, I got one next to me right this minute. ABout 3-4 inches in from the wheel well area is a hole thats rectangler/oblong, thats where the bracket goes to.
