Smoothie front bumper on a 72? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

XwalkerX · 07-25-2016, 11:36 AM

does anyone know of any pics floating around with a smoothie chrome bumper on a 1972 front end?

I don't think this is too common of a swap so its peaked my interest as something to do that will change the look of my front end without swapping to a different grille setup.

Do you mean smoothie or one w/o the parking lamps?

Mine is a 71 and smooth but it's painted. I did it many a moon's ago myself.

Brothers sell them.

I've seen bumpers that are completely smooth (like the one sold by Brothers), but I'd be interested in knowing if there is a smooth bumper that still has the turn signal cutouts for the 71-72 trucks.

they do make H4 headlight capsules with built in signal lights
