I purchased LMC's best front bumper for my 1972 Cheyenne Super, and I am very pleased with it. It fit well, and the chrome quality was good.

I also purchased their stock aluminum grille shell. It fit well, but it is softer than the original grille. They easily bend and distort.

And no doubt, will dent by rocks, debris and really big bugs

Kind of a harsh reply!

Just tip when installing the bumper. Put big flat washers between the bumper and bumper frame mounts. It will prevent pulling in the bumper in as you tighten the bolts.

That's a great tip! Never thought of that...

Isn't there a strange oval shape washer between the the front mounting bracket and the front bumper to keep from distorting the mounting hole? As I remember the bracket against the bumper isn't a good fit without it and could booger a bumper. More likely on an aftermarket bumper?
