fleetside bumper on stepside pics
 
Does anybody have pics of a smooth fleetside factory rear bumper on a stepside. Just want to see if it looks odd or too big.

I don't have any pictures but why not just use a smooth step side bumper? I really feel a regular fleet side bumper would look out of place and too wide.

Because I found an original used GM one with the brackets for $25. I don't have $200+ to spend on a smooth stepside bumper right now.

I have a short factory stepside bumper that I can put next to my sport bumper on my red truck to compare if you want

Here you go. The size is quite different and so is the shape. If one wanted you can prob shave the ends and paint orrechrome the sport bumper

The pics clearly show the major difference between the two.
If you are the fabricating type, you could get the bumper(screaming deal price by the way), and cut it down to the right size and weld it together.
This option obviously isn't cost effective if you don't weld, and want it chrome.

Thanks for the pic, decided to pass on it. But I saw on here some guys are running El Camino bumpers. I actually like the look of it, might go that route.
