Trade my chrome bumpers for paintables... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Gray Ghost · 12-15-2007, 07:35 PM

I have a front and rear chrome bumper pair on my 70 and I want to swap over to paintable bumpers. The chrome on mine isn't perfect by any stretch, but I am not looking for perfect either.

I am trying to see if there's any interest before I take pics and such. Prefer someone local to DFW area so I don't have to ship, but will consider all offers.

Do u Mean Some Like This, I've been Thinking about Changing the look's on this Truck & Going with More Bling...........

Have already Bought New Rims toward that end, Maybe we can Work out some kinda Deal to Split Shipping Cost???

I agree just sandblast them. I had some old chrome wheels that were peeling, I had them blasted and then I painted them black. Holdin up good too.

I have a 67 and I plan on using the same hubcaps as yours. I had my back bumper sand blasted too. I like the white bumper look.

Gray Ghost · 12-20-2007, 08:11 PM

OK...thanks everyone, we have a deal working after the holidays!!

toomanytoyz · 01-09-2008, 10:45 PM

Just Checking to see if we Still are a Go on The Swap, You Thru Me a Loop with the Name Change...................

Gotta admit i like your New handle Better.

Rick

Gray Ghost · 01-10-2008, 04:12 AM

Sorry about that but I had to consolidate the three forums and the new scheme.

I am still up for it, but I have noticed a couple of things about mine you need to know. There are two places on the rear bumper where the chrome is missing and there's a tiny bit of rust there now. One is a slight crease and I'm not sure the photos showed it. On the front there's a spot as well, but not as bad as the rear. Let me get some better pics up close and see what you think.

Gray Ghost · 01-10-2008, 04:33 AM

Here's some new shots...let me know what you think.

toomanytoyz · 01-14-2008, 11:27 PM

I Did'nt Forget, Just a Lot Going on at the moment..............

On a 1-10 scale where would you rate your Bumper's?

Thanks, Rick

Gray Ghost · 01-15-2008, 02:12 AM

The front would be a 7 and the rear a 6.

toomanytoyz · 02-04-2008, 05:20 PM

Took the Truck down to My Buddy's Shop that is Restoring my Nomad, Going to Put in Pwr Steering , Auto Tranny & a Drop along with new Tires & Rims.
