Anyone Know what kind of bumper this is? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BabyBlue · 07-20-2005, 12:59 AM

I think the bumper is off of an El Camino but I'm not totally sure.....I like how the bumper is wrapped around the end. And on a side note I really like the filled end caps and how smooth the rear end of the truck looks. Just hate the spoiler. Anyway any help on the bumper would be appreciated, and if any knows of where to find a hard tonneau that sits flush that would help as well.

I don't recognize that as a Malibu/Elcamino. This is what they look like which is going on my stepside

So is it a modded version of the original bumper?

beaterC10 · 07-20-2005, 11:46 AM

Maybe a smoothed fleetside bumper? It looks too narrow to be a stepper bumper.

looks like a custom job, No biggie weld it up any way you like smooth it out and send it for a rechrome.

If it is on cardomain, can't you contact the owner?

Looks like the front bumpers on a 80-87 almost.... how it curves on the ends like that and the lights.... Or atleast thats what it looks like to me..

'78 Fleetside · 07-20-2005, 03:16 PM

Something like this almost? just with the light inserts in it?

I think your right. looks like that to me.

Slonaker · 07-20-2005, 05:10 PM

I though the same thing at first, but now I don't think so. The front bumper has a protruding edge on either side of the plate and at the top. If that were cut off, the license spot would be too wide. The front bumper also has metal behind the palte, which that one does not have.

C'mon guys those bumpers aren't even close to each other. I'm going to guess and say that it's an after market bumper designed for a step side...

I actually put the pictures in my cardomain folder, faster to upload the pics there that my other photo albums. It's at the car lot I work part time at, and I was taking a closer look at it the other day and noticed a lot of custom work that I really liked. I didn't really want to call up the owners and bug them with asking what the bumper was, but I guess I might have to if no one can figure it out

That's been custom made. Those light openings are the park/turnsignal openings in a 71-72 front bumper. The liscence plate box is the same as the 67-72 rear bumper. The ends have probably been filled. Just my opinion. Frank

That started out as a factory stepside bumper for a 67-72 they've added the lights and the end caps, they did a great job it looks clean/
