Real good used or new. Also need the lower trim pieces for driver door and forward (3 pieces). Thx-cougar

Best place to get a new bumper that is near you, is the truck & car shop in Orange. About $100.00 for a new one.

I have a chevy piece on mine, the parking light cut out is missing, but in all reality, the early GMCs 67, and maybe 68, were like this. I used slightly smaller diameter bolts, and lowered the bumper just a 1/4 inch at the most, and the lights are 99% uncovered.
Just pointing out this option since chevy parts are scattered all over the junk yard while the GMCs are still on the road.

70GMCer; Thanks! I'll check them out.
Longhorn Man; Good idea there if I can't make a good deal on the GMC one. Also that was funny ( and true?) what you said.-cougar

Spend the $$$ and put the correct GMC bumper on it, so it is right...unless it is just a garbage hauler, then anything works.
Remember, if you put crap on your truck, it will look like...crap-LOL

his truck actually IS a scrap hauler, and a bit of a beater.
I'm just tryin to save the guy a few bucks

You're right Longhorn Man, It is a working truck,but a proud and complete example.People just keep nailing it,and believe me,they always get the worst of it!
Actually though,with a bumper and a few other parts and some minor repair it could stand tall again. It was a perfect original specimen when I got it.
Thanks again for the ideas. - cougar

Mines a driver and the bumpers I have gotten from the truck shop are great looking.

**WorkinLonghorn** · 01-06-2007, 04:45 PM

Went there this morning and picked one up.They JUST went up to $125.Also got some trim pieces that got damaged by the last impact.Thanks again for the link.
Here's the very humble before and after picture: (lighting was very bad).

It's a start anyway.-cougar

Longhorn Man · 01-06-2007, 05:23 PM

what are the pipes for?

**WorkinLonghorn** · 01-06-2007, 05:56 PM

Bazookas. And in back I've got smoke emitters and nail dispensers. Hey,this is L.A.!!!
Seriously,the original owner had a camper and this is where he mounted his little trail bike (motorcycle,probably a Honda 50 or 90).-cougar

(pipes are now out of alignment but I put it up there anyway for illustration purps)-cougar

They did take a jump in price.....still, does make a difference......Now, take it to "1-Day-Body & Paint" in the Valley and get it looking really good....

Good idea,and one of my customers who owes me a favor is an exec.at One Day. However,while it is still doing heavy work duty,and until I can park it off the street,I'm going to leave it ugly. Besides,this way I sleep pretty good,not worrying about it driving away at night.-cougar (in Studio City)
