60-66 o.e. step bumper
3 Attachment(s)
was thinking about how gm carried over the 55-59 bumper for the 60-66 steps, and how it doesn't really look correct.
I had a couple ideas: a fleet step bumper with the ends trimmed off and replaced with the ends from a front bumper to wrap around like the 55-59 does. or (this is almost the same) a front bumper narrowed and a fleet l.p. dip/step grafted in.. or maybe even the step from the 55-59 grafted on... this would be a little less flat than the first idea... anyone want to whip up a couple so I can see what it would look like??? :lol: a pic of the originals... |

I am real curious, and would love to see some gm clay mockups of the design of the 60-66.... I wonder if they had some ideas for new step fenders, and then scrapped them to save costs, or they just thought the 55-59 looked close enough that they didn't need a redesign....? |
Re: 60-66 o.e. step bumper
I wonder if a shortened panel/burban bumper would work with out a dip for plate ?
Or maybe just not as deep ? From the looks of the red one above, might not need much .... |

I like the idea of a narrowed front bumper on the rear, with the dip from a rear fleet bumper. I’ve thought about that design for my own truck, but without welding skills or experience that’s as far it is gets.
