bumper bolt size
Wanted to round up some replacement bumper bolts and couldn't see paying for a specialty part when they can probably be found a lot cheaper at my local hardware store...the bumpers/bolts on my blazer have seen better days.
Does anybody happen to have the size of the front/rear bumper bolts for our trucks? I did a search and found this for the 73-87 models...but nothing for the 67-72s. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=184451 Thanks Last edited by lks dcvn; 07-07-2008 at 01:40 PM. |

Re: bumper bolt size
I used 1/2" carriage bolts from the hardware store. I have a painted bumper. While painting said bumper I did the bolts too. I drilled some holes in a scrap piece of 2x4, scuffed up the bolt heads, and while spraying the bumper I shot some on the bolts.
Oh I almost forgot. Before I sprayed the first coat of epoxy on the bolts and bumper, I dipped the bolt heads in the mixed primer so the back of the head wouldn't rust for a while. Just be careful when installing the bumper, the color on the edges of the bolt head will chip easily.
