Some fool chopped off the rear most cross piece on my pickup chassis. What mounts to this rear piece?

Those cross pieces are weak and often damaged by people using them to attach chains for towing. This is your opportunity to use a better piece

Well, I think they left enough of it for the bed blocks because I removed them when I removed the bed. My truck did not have a rear bumper. I'm not sure I care about this, but does the rear bumper mount to this piece?

No factory rear bumper on a 35.

If you did mount a bumper it would mount to the main frame rails not the weak cross piece.

Not sure about a 35 pickup , but the 38 and up bumper brackets do bolt to the cross piece and frame rail. The inner iron bolts there. On the 35-36 passenger car the bracket for the bumper irons also bolts to the crosspiece. One side of the bracket bolts to the rear frame rail and the other side of the bracket to the crosspiece.

Heard, I'll PM you a picture of my pickup rear cross member. Can't figure out how to do it on this version. Too many moving parts.

Are we talking about the bed rear crossmember or the frame? Thought we were talking about the rear frame crossmember.
