Need some help ID'ing this bumper

I bought my truck with this bumper and just assumed it was a later model C10 rear bumper but I've looked all over and I haven't seen one like it. Anyone have any idea what its from? I really like it and I think it fits the truck really well I just need to to know what it is so I can either get a new one or re-chrome this one.


I would appreciate any help, thanks!

Re: Need some help ID'ing this bumper

Ok after searching forever... I believe its actually a 64-72 Ford F100 styleside rear bumper. Damn it! I wish it was a Chevy bumper, I think I'm going to leave it though. I really think it fits the truck. Sorry for the post, I looked forever last night and couldn't find it.

I wouldn't care if it was off a Toyota or something from the Czech Republic--it looks GREAT on the back of your wide-body, and I wouldn't hesitate to run it.

How much reworking of the bumper brackets was done to mount it up?

This. It's the same bumper that is on my brother in law's 68 F100.

The brackets are a lot wider than the stock Chevy Frame is. I used part of the piece the PO used to weld on the brackets. Honestly it doesn't look that great but no one will see it so I don't care. I can post some pictures when I go work on it tonight.

Re: Need some help ID'ing this bumper

for the most part it looks like a 60-66 bumper upside down..
I think it looks good, I would run it as well.
