This bumper has been customized slightly by a previous owner. They usually have sides that touch the rear fenders. Someone cut those off and filled in the back side of the bumper with diamond plate. The section under the tailgate had diamond there too, but it had been hacked up for different things over the years so I welded on a new thin metal plate. I'm going to mount my backup lights and a trailer hitch on that plate. I have been looking for a factory photo of a truck with one of these "Step-&-Tow" bumpers, I don't know if they were a dealer add-on.
I wanted to keep this truck functional. I see a lot of great looking trucks at car shows, but I want to be able to use mine. I am getting the bed sides, rails and the top of the steps covered in body colored Line-X in a couple weeks. No worries about dings that way.
