who sells a paintable rear bumper for a fleetside? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

71Rat · 07-22-2007, 05:44 PM

hello everyone,
Im in the search for a paintable rear bumper for my 71 fleetside. I havent got any luck in the classified section. so im willing to buy a repop but i cant find anyone who wells a paintable version. the tri plus company does but their web site wants $130 to ship it (thats more then the bumper itself!).

If anyone knows of a company who sells a paintable bumper please help me know or if anyone is willing to sell one.

Thanks a lot
71 Rat

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-22-2007, 05:57 PM

Try one of the board vendors.... Sure they could ship one for less than that...

eedgell · 07-22-2007, 06:46 PM

Check the board first. Might find a vendor close to ya.

jkade · 07-22-2007, 06:49 PM

I have a nice on for $50 plus the ride. Pm me

**special-K** · 07-22-2007, 07:16 PM

Is it the paintable sport bumper you need?Do you have the brackets?

71Rat · 07-22-2007, 08:52 PM

jkade- pm will be sent after this post

special-k whats a sport bumper? i didnt know there was a difference from the factory. I have seen tons or step bumpers like mine but i thought that was dealer installed. And yes i need the brackets for it, but ive seen tons of them on ebay for sale, also the chrome bumpers like i want but i want a paintable one

thanks everyone for your input

All the vendors sell them.You could post a WTB in the parts board for a used one,if you want a used one.The sport bumper is what the matching rear bumper is known as...non-step.

Musclerodz · 07-23-2007, 12:08 PM

I can get you one shipped cheaper than that. Bumper is around $100 for a painted one.

The local junk yard I sanded mine back down and painter her white

mbgmike · 07-23-2007, 04:44 PM

Tripro AUtomotive is in South Plainfield Nj and it should not cost Anywhere near $100.00 to ship. We ship bumpers just about anywhere in the Country for $50 and under.The do not ship truck freight. You Probably can drive there. Its not to hard to find. Of course we could sell you one to but your so close.

71Rat · 07-23-2007, 05:52 PM

thanks everyone for the response, I was looking on vender's sites over the weekend and that was all i found on my semi quick search. I was going to call them about picking it up at their store but didnt have time today. also junk yards around me are on the rarity and the ones there are dont have much old stuff.

Thanks again for everyones responces, Mike i might contact you about one if i cant find someone closer or cheaper

thanks everyone

I bought a bunch of body parts and a bumper from GMC Paul and Classicheartbeat and picked them up at the warehouse in South Plainfield NJ with no shipping.I am pretty sure they were Triplus. It was right off I 287. Chris

71Rat · 07-23-2007, 07:27 PM

zeeklu_ thanks Im going to have to look into that!! so you paid GMC paul or classicheartbeat and just went down to the warehouse and picked them up?

thank you,
71rat

zeeklu · 07-24-2007, 03:50 PM

Yes, it was real easy + you can inspect the parts. Chris

mbgmike · 07-24-2007, 04:53 PM

You can do that through any vendor that buys from Keyparts. We go their to warehouse to pick up are parts to. You can buy through any vendor.
Just ask for Tom Macon. TriPro is in the same building in back. You can buy from them and walk over

71Rat · 07-24-2007, 06:02 PM
