**special-K** · 01-28-2005, 07:32 AM

I`ve always wanted one of those step bumpers stamped with the dealers name and town.It`s a western-thing.Most guys doing restorations like to use the sport bumper,so...any layin`round?

when I had my '66 swb . the bumper said "hornbeak tn" I always was partial to that bumper! Its not just a west thing they're all over i suppose.
Good luck finding yours.

Dang, I trashed one that said "Brownsfield Tx" I didn't think anyone would ever actually want it.

I have one on my 68 swb I'll be working on in the spring. Don't recall exactly what it said and is covered right now, but if interested I would be glad to donate it to your cause when I remove it. Drop me an email to remind me SDELVY55@aol.com

I`m thinking,"why not do what they did and mill-in our own "imaginary" dealer/town.Or reproduce a sentimental "real" one?"Blue 71,not hijacking.KrazieTexan,If that`s a`72,is it stamped and has two ribs(like later ones,but 4")?Or,is it 4" c-channel like the others?Never seen a`72 stamped,I don`t think.I figure most of these bumpers are being discarded for pretty reproed Chrome sport bumpers.But on a 3/4t,I like the common truck add-ons from the era:saddle tanks,bed steps(1/2moon),circle tie-downs,snap-on tonneaus,etc.I have a perfect`72 step bumper I want to get chromed(stamped/ribbed).

Making your own would be coo. It would definitely be a unique touch.
