Do OEM bumpers have stamped part numbers? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I picked up one from the original owner of a '72 Blazer about a month ago. He took it off about 6 months after buying it new and hung it in his barn. It will soon be gracing the back of my '67. Anyway, it has "51B23" stamped on the backside of the passenger side of the bumper. I can take a pic of it for you later if you want. I'm not sure if it's a part number or not, but I'm assuming it is.

Thank you. I'd appreciate the photo when you have the time. Nice barn find!

It was a good barn find. The guy had long since gotten rid of the blazer, but he was in the process of cleaning up. There's some very light storage rash, but the thing is absolutely 100% straight. To beat it all, he only wanted $20 for it. I actually tried to give him more for it, but he wouldn't take it. Here's a pic of the bumper and the stamped number on the back. It's hard to make out the 1, but it's there.
