GMC bumper
Is this bumper correct or a custom cut? My 68 does not have this and a portion of the turn signals are below the bumper.

Cool Jimmy, my pop had a 72 blazer when i was a kid, loved that thing, had the top off all summer. Mine is a 72 Jimmy, don't know about the early ones. Someone on here will... My Dad had one too, that's why I'm doing this one, in memory of him. He always said " son don't take the top off, 'cause it's gonna leak" Well when he wasn't lookin' I took the top off. Darned if he wasn't right, every time it rained I could here my name. He had that Jimmy along time... I'll look you up. J.

Re: GMC bumper
i have a new in wrapper one, it's labeled 69-72 with the cutouts so i'm guessing 67-68 had none

Re: GMC bumper
The way I understand it, '67-'68 Chevys and GMC's use the same front bumper-no cut outs for the turn signals. '69-'72 GMC's use the bumper with the cut outs. I prefer the '69-'72 front bumper and am using one on my '67.
