'76 Paintable front bumper - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**nlped** · 01-17-2012, 07:36 PM

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm searching for a paintable smooth front bumper for a '73-80 P/U. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did search first, and all I could find were chrome ones

Worse case buy a chrome one and paint it.

Find the nearest Keystone Automotive, Auto Panels Plus or GoFit Auto Panels store and have them order you one or they might even have it in stock.

One more dumb question then... Why are the rear bumpers different from '73-'80 and '81-'87? Same bed, same basic frame...just the brackets maybe?

The rear 73-80 bumpers have the raised ribs just like the front do. The brackets are a little different, too. I think the bottom of the newer bumpers slants in a little, too.
