Rear Bumper Question
I just got a real decent sport style (guess that is what you call it) rear bumper off a fleetside truck. What is the difference between between the fleet bumper and the one that is used on the back of a stepside. Been thumbing through pictures and at the show area today and I can't see any difference in width or anything else for that matter? They all seem to be same width and look like this one to me, but I am uneducated.
Thanks

The step bumpers are shorter than the fleetside bumpers. I don't remember exactly how much, but I think that it is around 8" so that they are not interchangeable.

The step bumbers "curl" in a bit on the ends to augment the lines and shape of the pontoon step fenders. A fleet bumper is longer and does not curl forward
