Hey guys, I know these parts are hard to find, but if i buy a repo bumper from classic industries 55-59, and the bumper guards , are these the correct parts for at least the bumper ?

Yep those guards are for the 57-58 GMC. The difference being the center protruding outward, not inward. I also think they are shorter to the rear as seen in the pic from JML55 build!

You will have to drill 2 holes per "bullet" in the new chrome bumper!

Re: 55-56 Gmc Grill / Bumper
OK so i think i found two 55-56 with correct and incorrect bullets
These bullets are 58-59 ?  These bullets are correct 55-56 ?  If they fit exactly the same I think im going to have to get 58-59 as the correct ones are going to be a fortune or impossible to find |

The tan truck has the 55 bullets that someone added the rubber tips from a 57 Chevrolet sedan.
