GMC bumper - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is this bumper correct or a custom cut? My 68 does not have this and a portion of the turn signals are below the bumper.

Sure looks like mine and mine is original.

Can't believe you live in Lansdale, I'm in North Wales...
If your missing your grille someday you'll know where to look for it haha

Mine is a 72 Jimmy, don't know about the early ones. Someone on here will...

My Dad had one too, that's why I'm doing this one, in memory of him. He always said " son don't take the top off, 'cause it's gonna leak" Well when he wasn't lookin' I took the top off. Darned if he wasn't right, every time it rained I could here my name. He had that Jimmy along time...

I'll look you up. J.

There you go. I knew Longhorn would know-resident genius

BurnerBrown · 03-16-2007, 07:53 PM

thanks, cant tell if my frnt bumper is original..

wibilly · 03-16-2007, 08:14 PM

i have a new in wrapper one, it's labeled 69-72 with the cutouts so i'm guessing 67-68 had none

Sammy · 03-16-2007, 09:31 PM

Same as wibilly..New one in box marked 69-72 GMC.

The way I understand it, '67-'68 Chevys and GMC's use the same front bumper-no cut outs for the turn signals. '69-'72 GMC's use the bumper with the cut outs. I prefer the '69-'72 front bumper and am using one on my '67.
