On a side note, has anybody seen a painted repop GMC grill? I don't think they make them, but not sure.

Wheew...
You know, I ordered a GMC bumper from Brothers (the one with the lights in it) about 2 months later I unwrapped it and started to install it. I had other mounting issues and didn't even notice it until I posted pics here and someone said something. Then I thought about it.... ya know.. he's right...

I thought, Oh well. It's on there and that must be the only one they have with the lights in it. Since then it has bugged me but it looks fine. I'm waiting to get it out on the road (hopefully next summer) and see if anyone else ever notices.

So, you ordered a GMC bumper and they sent you a Chevy bumper by mistake? Do you have double parking lights now?

Nope, just no dip for the parking lights. Being it is a 4wd 1ton 4 wheel disk longhorn I doubt anyone will notice that the bumper doesn't have a dip for the lights. If they know that much about these trucks they will spend half a day trying to figure out what belongs and what doesn't on my truck. It all looks like its supposed to be there but nothing belongs.... LOL if you really want to get down to the nitty gritty I'm hoping to make some meetings with other board members next summer for its debut. I wonder how long it will take someone to notice it has screws under the wing windows but 67-71 window regulators with flat oem metal door panels.
