Anybody have the diamondstep bumper from LMC? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jim85IROC · 05-01-2007, 09:55 AM

I had planned on buying a new Fey (Westin) Diamondstep bumper for my truck from Summit for $230, which is about the best price around. But, LMC offers what appears to be the same thing, but with a couple back-up lamps installed in the bumper, which I really like. LMC says that the bumpers are made exclusively for them. Does anybody know if it's Fey that makes them for LMC, or at least if the quality of these LMC-exclusives is as good as a regular Fey diamondstep bumper? I'd love to get this bumper for the truck, but I don't want a rusty piece of crap in a couple years.

The one I'm interested in is on the top right. With the exception of the lights, it looks just like the Fey.

ive used the fey bumpers for years on my trucks ( and i like chrome bumpers) and ive never had one rust yet . My trucks are used to work and im not always the only driver. Sometimes the fey bumpers get a gash on em and they dont rot out even then just a little rust like normal. For the amount of money from LMC and if they hit you for shipping you can add back up lights under the bumper. Plus i get the FEY bumpers for like under $190 which is like a $50 difference from LMC

LMC's shipping costs are pretty reasonable. The LMC with the lights winds up costing about $40 more than the Fey from Summit. It looks to me that this LMC is actually made by Fey, but I'd love to find out before taking the plunge. For the $40 difference, I really like the lights in the bumper. It'll cost me half of that to install a couple lights under the bumper, which would look cheap. If I could get the Fey for $190, that would be another story.

I have a chrome step bumper on the 84, not sure if it's factory or fey or lmc or whatever.

I bought an LMC bumper, looks great, had a little trouble with the brackets but once I figured that out it went on like a glove.

Jim85IROC · 05-01-2007, 03:37 PM

Any markings or indications that it's a Westin/Fey bumper? The Westin/Fey part number for that bumper is 21000.

TexasJeff · 05-01-2007, 04:08 PM

no numbers on it at all, had LMC on the box it came in

try your local speed shops and auto body supply stores for the FEY bumper i think Autozone can get em too.. or seardh FEYs website for a retailer locator

I'll just get it from summit. Nobody local would be close on price. Hell, I'm technically a Westin dealer because my distributer carries it, but it's still cheaper through summit.
