Wondering if anyone has successfully used a rear bumper from a 1967 1/2 ton on an AD truck.

Either fleetside or stepside bumper would have to narrowed to work. I had a friend who ran a narrowed 78/83 El Camino bumper on the back of his show truck in the early 80's when I was running a Datsun/Nisson Pickup rear bumper that I had replaced the reflectors with tail lights in. I got that one new in the box for 10.00 bucks from my buddy who was a Chevy/Nisson dealership parts manager.
I've seen just about every thing you can imagine used on these trucks over the past 40 something years and some work and some don't.

i have a torch and welder, i can make anything fit something else.
if your asking ''will it bolt on with out any mods?'' no
a tape measure would have shown you that

I hope he is asking if it will look presentable after he goes to the effort and all I can say to that I it "might" if he is looking for a real 70's/ 80's vibe for the truck because that is the time frame we did that on these trucks.
