Question C-10 Stock Chrome Rear Bumper

I'm trying to figure out if the my rear bumper is bent. When looking at it from the side the license plate holder is tilted so that the bottom edge is further from the end of the truck than the top. I also noticed that the top edge of the bumper is curved...like a slight frown. When viewing from the rear, the ends of the bumper appear to turn down slightly. I have tried correct this by loosening the bracket bolts and pulling down on the bumper but no joy. Does anyone know what the stock appearance should be or can point me to some pics of one done right.

Thanks.

Re: C-10 Stock Chrome Rear Bumper

the plate does come out a bit at the bottom and the top is not suposed to be flat and as far as the ends of the bumper turning down im not 100% sure on that but mine does so maybe its just how they are

I've seen comments on the reproduction ones lookin like they are bent, but it's been so long since I had an original one, I can't remember if it was supposed to be like that or not.
