Front Bumper Options....
Anyone ever experiment with other models for their front bumper...
IE: We have a few instances were guys are taking their rear bumpers off and using 67-72 bumpers... For the front... 67-72 c10's have a wedge to them... probably making them not work with the straight front 60-66 C10... Some guys have 'flipped' the front bumper... BUT... the 73+ C10 is back to straight angle front with a blunt straight face... Hmmmm IE take this bumper and put it on the 60-66'

Re: Front Bumper Options....
Looks a bit too 'heavy' to me but what do I know!
Would be interested to see a photoshop though. P.

Re: Front Bumper Options....
Those all look good to me. I tend to lean more OEM, but love to see what guys do with THEIR trucks.

Re: Front Bumper Options....
I think the front looks much better flipped. Thanks for the tip and pics.

Re: Front Bumper Options....
Anyone know if the front frame horns and dimensions are the same from 1966 to the 3rd gen of 1973-1980?
I'd like to put one of these on my 1966
