Tucked bumpers
I've seen a few pics of trucks with bumpers that are "tucked" back towards the body a couple inches, so that it does not protrude as much. I'm currently working on the rear, anyone have and tips?

Re: Tucked bumpers
Are you talking about the heavy barden type bumper like on 63deluxfleet's truck in the picture? I've seen a few at some dismantler yards.

Re: Tucked bumpers
the second one! I wanted to flip mine and tuck it very similar. My step has a larger curve to the bumper. I was hoping someone might have pics of how they shortened the brackets for the bumper.

Re: Tucked bumpers
Here's a link to how Classic Trucks Magazine did it on their Project Old School 64 C10:

Re: Tucked bumpers
You could also switch to a 67-72 rear bumper (it's flatter). The stepside version has more of a curve on the ends. (not my truck)
