And,these are bumper guards?



Confusing to me.

Re: 83 bumper push bars

I bought these, and look like the original, and the price is good. Metal thickness is about the same. I have nt had time to install, but when i do i will post picks.


I know the 67-72 crowd uses them more.

Re: 83 bumper push bars

Re: 83 bumper push bars

I too have always heard them referred to as bumper guards. Push bars are like what police vehicles have on them. There are chromed and black push bars that were popular for square bodies back in the 80's. If those are what you are talking about, I haven't seen any for sale besides for used, and that's rare.
