that is the extremly rare "tailgate" option it makes it so when sitting back having a cold one on your tailgate you can extend the bumper out as a foot rest

A tailgate footrest?
very interesting
should we give that its own option code?
Maybe I could leave it 4 feet out and use rubber pins to lock in place and call it a 5 mph bumper

I saw a bumper like that on a longhorn last week. It wasn't a factory bumper. The owner didn't even know that there was really anything unusual about his truck. I complemented him on it and he was very rude, so I didn't talk to him anymore. Actually, he was the first rude 67-72 owner I have run into. Anyway, the bumper looked like the one in the picture, and it had a sticker for a company that used to make that kind of stuff.
