Anyone seen this rear bumper before?
 

It was on my truck when I got it...however the stickers on it have since been painted over.

Thanks!

Cool truck! I've seen some bumpers like it before.

Re: Anyone seen this rear bumper before?
 

There was a question and a picture a while back showing the same type bumper on a different truck Back in the day I believe they were an option in some areas of the country installed by different dealers that offered them, but I am not the expert. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

Nice looking truck by the way!

They were made so the tailgate can fold straight down so you can load stuff easier by being able to back right up to a loading dock. My 71 had one of those originally but the owner modified it a lot

I have a similar style on my C20 that I bought used.....

Andy....

I think your bumper might have been made by Luverne...the style is much like the one on my K20.
Told you they were related! :)

Thank guys!

Larry, that's just creepy :lol:

I went out and looked at the remnants of the stickers, I could make out "LINDSTAD" (or something similar), and on the other one, I saw "LU-----" the rest was gone. I'd say Luverne as it is very similar to the one above.

Thanks again! :)

By the way, here are a couple pics of the stickers, can't see them too well.

It is an aftermarket bumper intended to allow the tailgate to be folded down 180* and backing up to a dock for loading. There have been a couple of threads on this style. Here is a link with more pictures.

Yup that's it, thanks for the link! I never knew the recessed area was so you could drop the tailgate.

Lets see 100 lbs and how far away....

Nice bumper. Lets the tailgate fall but protects the bed corners. Looks like a great bumper for 4X4. Sorry but never seen one before.
