I wanna see pics of some different bumpers.

I have a Dealer special as seen here, and want to replace it.

I have a step bumper like that on my 72. And I hate it. Its ugly, way to low to the ground. You can get the stock bumper on brothers.com they have the hardware too. Haha and I am missing the chrome trim from around my tail lights too.

The roll pan you see in the attached pic. did the trick for me. This is a smoother look in the event you decide to shave your truck it'll serve the shaved look as well.

That looks like one of those aftermarket bumpers you can get from many places. LMC did have them. I like the look of the original bumpers though.

I like the looks of the roll pan and the no trim around the lens, now do they make a front roll pan for a 71 that will work with the turn signals?

Jim_PA · 03-06-2008, 09:56 AM

I have a 73-87 bumper on mine. Prev. owner just hacked off the brackets and welded it to the frame... DOH!!!

Not sure it will fit once I get the new bed on though.

Thanks .... I do this to christen a new shop! No mess to clean up this way. It beats smashing a bottle (champagne) against your truck.

I really don't know for sure, mine being a 70' and all. I wanted a bit of sparkle to balance the shaved look out and I always like it in the front end. Tends to lend to the raked stance.
