It looks like white bumpers are on the restoration list.

Anyone know what option V38 was: "Painted Rear Bumper"? Could a vehicle have been ordered with a bumper matching the vehicle's color? I saw this at post # 41 on the Blazer SPID thread. My SPID is shown on post # 78 on the same thread although I had not yet owned the vehicle.
I believe that the painted bumper referred to white. I have never seen a truck or Blazer with a factory body color bumper, but that doesn't necessarily mean they didn't exist.
