No good pics of just the bumper, but here is one. 2x5 rectangular tube with pull points and a receiver tube.

Had an LMC Starlite rear on my 79 K20. Had the lights hooked into the backup light circuit.

Re: let's see some custom rear bumpers!!!

I like this rear bumper, but think this particular one is a bit over priced.

ORD@ $729

Re: let's see some custom rear bumpers!!!

Sorry not a chevy but I am in process of designing one for my C10. Not that hard to fab if you have minor fab skills. Built this one back in college with a sawsall a hand torch and an arc welder.

Re: let's see some custom rear bumpers!!!

Does this count as custom. We got my friends ford stuck and my c10 did this to it, my bumper was unharmed as it was a Hercules bumper

Re: let's see some custom rear bumpers!!!

Here's mine in mock-up stage - designed & built by Keven Kirkegaard at WFO Concepts in Auburn, CA. Not gonna get a whole lot heavier-duty than this one I assure ya!!!

He's final welding it & smoothing it all out so the welds aren't visible. He's also planning to install a hidden recessed panel behind the license plate to hide my air chuck & jumper cable quick connects which will be nice!
