Glad you didn't have to go thru the steps that i outlined, great news!

Re: 1968
 

I ordered the right bumper for my truck today. The ad stated for a step side truck and I even sent them a e mail asking if this was the right bumper. They said it was so I ordered it from Summit, it will be here on the 20th of this month.
Swamp rat I am glad also that I didn't have to go with all the steps you outlined.

Re: 1968
 

Fingers crossed! :)

Re: 1968
 

third time is a charm.
first one was all scratched up when I opened it up
second one was for a fleet bed
third I am crossing my fingers

only I could have this kind of luck.

Re: 1968
 

I got conformation on the rear bumper. It will be here VIA FedEx Tuesday Jan. 20th.
then I can start back on my truck. I need the bumper to adjust the rear Camaro gas tank. Then I can get started with the wood floor.

Re: 1968
 

No those are foam, I have a set of those. They tear so easy that is why I am wanting rubber. I am still waiting for the rear bumper.

Re: 1968
 

My front bumper came in this morning. It was suppose to come in on the 20th. 4 days early who is complaining. At last I got the right bumper. I will install the bumper today. maybe. The grand kids are taking over the front room as you can see. Got to love them.............................

Re: 1968
 

Well, today I installed the rear bumper. I put new bumper bolts on the bumper. One bolt gave me a problem. About half way it would not tighten or loosen up any. So I had to get my cutting tool out and cut the bolt off. I installed a new one and everything is a ok.
Tomorrow, I will adjust the gas tank so it centers in the square hole I cut in the bracket a month ago. If you look close enough you can see the tank sets a little too high and a little forward. I will correct that problem tomorrow. I am saving up for the front bumper next. Maybe next week, I will order it. Also I will be ordering a set of tail gate chain covers. These are to stiff as you can see.

Re: 1968
 

Taking shape! That looks way better than the other bumper. :)

Re: 1968
 

I ordered a rear bumper from LMC after I received it I discovered I ordered a fleetside and not a stepside. It cost to much to ship it back after all it was my mistake. I will sell it or find a truck it will fit. I ordered a show quality rear bumper from ecklers, I haven't got it yet.:chevy:

Re: 1968

Re: 1968
 

Sweet!!!!:metal:

Re: 1968
 

yea I understand. When I ordered the bumper it stated it would fit my step side, well when It came it would fit but, it was to long. It was for a fleet. the company understood and took it back with any problem. They even paid for the shipping. I would do business with them again. The company is a jam up company. here is where they can be located. autopartswarehouse.com they are on e bay.
Classic parts sell it cheaper, but they do not ship for free and they do not take pay pal. Good luck with your build.

Re: 1968
 

yea, this bumper is 6 inches shorter. I like the way it fits. The only problem that I had was when I mounted the tag support. It takes four 3/8 carriage bolts. But the fourth one was a little off. So I only installed three. It can's be seen and it's only holding a tag and bracket. I did not want to re drill the hole and take a chance in damaging the bumper. Maybe later I will take a rat tail file and do the support to receive the fourth bolt. Maybe.

Re: 1968
 

Thanks. How far along are you with yours? I haven't heard from you in quite some time. I hope that you are getting along good. I don't envy you at all with all that snow.

Re: 1968
 

Today I adjusted the Camaro gas tank to the rear bumper. I mounted this old tag I found in a truck I parts out. This way I know how much room I have. I also hooked up the tag lights and the ground to the gas tank. Got everything taped up rear good. I hope to order my front bumper some time this next week.

Re: 1968
 

took it easy today. and rested.

Re: 1968
 

Tank is lookin nice on the re-adjust George!

Re: 1968
 

Thanks. I hope the front bumper don't give me as much trouble as the rear bumper.

Re: 1968
 

nothing came in today. Hoping soon.

Re: 1968
 

Do you think you could take a picture of your bumper from the side. I'm not sure if mine is fitting correct. Thank you:chevy:

Re: 1968
 

Rear bumper & camaro gas tank install looks good George ! Could you do me a favor & measure the stepside bumper....the exact length, end to end ? I don't want to buy the wrong one for my truck while searching at a swap meet or craigslist. Thanks in advance !
