WIW? '83 rear sport bumper for a STEPSIDE? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**lolife99** · 07-15-2007, 10:56 PM

I ran across a rear sport bumper off an '83 stepside. The bumper is complete with brackets gravel pans and license bracket and license light wiring . I don't know if the brackets are the same as a fleetside bed,... but the gravel pans are definitely shorter. The license bracket appears to be the same. Just wondered if it was worth picking up. The bumper is just average. Also the bumper more resembles a 67-72 style rear bumper. I guess I've never seen a stepside 73-87 rear sport bumper. Whew,... so what's it worth? (rare, or not?) Anyone got any pics of there bumper? Thanks, lolife99.

Everything about the stepside sport bumper is different from the fleetside sport bumper except the license box in the center of the bumper. The stepside sport bumper is the same (I think) from 67-87. They are tough to find, but that may not equate to being any more valuable$. It seems there aren't many 73-87 stepper fans.

I noticed Goodmark still makes the replacement stepside bumper. ($199.00) I may get it just to have. I always liked the 73-87 stepside!

brackets are different, If I ran across some, I would get it especially if it was cheap.

That is the 67-72 bumper from summit, this is the correct 73-87 stepside bumper.
