Bumper stops or not?

Thinking about taking the bumper stops off my '72. Which do you prefer?

I'm still on the fence. It looks cleaner without it.

They are easy enough to take off, and put back on. Take them off and see how it looks. I took them off my 72 about 12 years ago. When I freshened it up if had them rechromed and put them back on.

Re: Bumper stops or not?

I think the front ends and grills of these trucks are the best looking part. If you want my 2¢, I say the less clutter, the better...
