Hi there!

We're in the midst of re-habbing a '78 c10 longbed & having a lot of fun on our first project of this sort. We've dropped-in a new engine, bought various new bits & pieces & are having bucket seats from a Suburban recovered currently to go in when complete. Paint will probably be in a few weeks, then we'll work on outfitting the inside & finishing-up various other bits & pieces.

Anyway - I discovered this board in my quest to find a set of Bumper Guards for our truck. It appears that until recently LMC & Classic Parts each had reproductions, but both say they have been discontinued by the manufacturer - though they also say they get plenty of calls for them - go figure.

Anyway, I've scoured all I can think of online & have come-up empty-handed. Im interested in either OEM in good condition or reproduction.

Any ideas/sources I may not have thought of?
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated!
