HotGMC · 11-20-2007, 12:31 PM

Either the black ones, or i think i have seem chrome or painted to match. i was thinking of putting them on my 72 GMC to give it a sort of new look. just wondering if some people that have them could post some pics.

I normally put them on all my non-sporty vehicles. Im hunting a set now for my 68 dually

The short chrome ones are 67-70.I like those,too.I have the taller ones like 72freak on my Highlander.They look great on 4wds.

Here's a pic of both styles. Hope this works for you.

I used the short painted style on my 68 4x4, I think it gives it a classy look.

I have a tall chrome set I added to my '71 4x4. Not usefull "per se" but I like the look better than a plain front bumper. Actually woudn't dream of trying to actually push something or some one's vehicle with them. I have a 20 ft' nylon tow strap and original style tow hooks for that. If that doesn't work I have a cell phone they can use to call AAA.

Not installed as of yet, but here are a few of my original GM 67-72 front bumper guards. These are all out of my "Just Collecting Dust" parts collection as my wife calls it, she also likes using the term "new old sh!t" when referring to my parts stash

. The pictured set of chrome 67-70's still contain the original sales receipt (in the box) dated 6-15 of 67 at which time they sold for a whopping $14.54 with the .29 cent tax included, originally purchased from Bob Reid Chevrolet in Levelland, Texas... anyone know if they are still around? Cb

That`s cool!I`ve only ever seen one pair of painted 71/72s.They were on a 3500 cattle truck that was beautiful and for sale.I wanted that red truck so bad.It was a 1t with the 5&10 lug pattern.I`ve rarely seen those,also.This was a 60" CA truck.Here`s mine...
Her`s mine:

71/72s on a`70:

Seein' the short chrome guards made me think of a set of "Dagmars" on a mid-50's Caddy, but instead of the giant boob look, these guards remind me of Lt. Blips, in Beetle Bailey.

My mind is a fertile place, for sure.
