Modern rear bumpers? Options?

As the title says. Does any one have pics of modern late model truck chrome bumpers installed? I like the way some of the newer trucks on the road look and I'm wondering if anyone has fitted one up to our generation of 67-72 fleetside trucks.

Ask and you shall receive. This is a 99 + bumper from a pick-up/tahoe.
Not chrome but you get the idea.

Very nice! Good looking truck....Were the frame mounts far off from the new bumper points or is the fittment fairly close?

new vehicles do not have heavy gauge bumpers they have crumple zones that can not survive an abusive shoppin cart

I appreciate the compliment but I really hated that bumper. It has a stock sport bumper on it now.

This was one by the PO and had some 3 x 4 square tubing sections to space it down from the stock locating points.

Well, I wasn't going to say it - BUT - since you said it, I hate that bumper on that truck too!

New model bumpers look out of place on beautiful old trucks, IMO!

It definitely clashes with the original styling, but is not terrible IMO. For the right price I would do the same just to get a rear bumper on my truck.

I like the look of modern chrome/plastic in some cases. I think bumper shown above was nicely done to match the body color. Not bad IMHO. If the price is right why not. Anymore pics out there? Would love to see some more.
