Nothing beats the original IMO

Longhorn Man · 03-21-2004, 06:16 PM

Andy agrees, the stock chrome 'sport' bumper looks good on sweet rigs, and on junk.

Here is my 70 with a 73-up blazer reciever hitch. (best fit i found)

**too much stuff** · 03-21-2004, 06:51 PM

Here is a pic of my 71. Both look good. imo I like the sport bumper a little better.

This is what I run. It's a carolina step bumper for our trucks.

Ignore the butt-ugly taillights, but bumper is correct

Somebody in New Hamshire will think this is butt-ugly, too. It's a narrowed mid-80's El Camino bumper.

robertwb · 03-23-2004, 11:20 PM

I like the elcamino idea-I have one on my datsun I grafted the license plate recess from a van in the middle too

it's still not quite finished but I had to put it back on to drive the truck-here's a link to a pic-dasun rear view

I don't think 72c10step is that "narrow" minded.

I'm just glad you didn't use one off a 1980 Malibu wagon, that would be ugly.

Seriously, I think you did a great job of keeping the "stock" look while adding subtle modifications. Plus you kept the side mount spare and chains!

But those tailights in the pic I provided are still butt ugly IMO.

duhh...just figured out how to post a pic here
