Re: Wanted bardon bumpers need 3 can get home from california

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that your truck started life as a Suburban. The other possibility is the roof was change but I notice a Suburban front seat also. The VIN would say for sure.

I'm contributing to a major thread jack-knife here, but is that possibly a rarely seen option of a "finished out" panel interior. Those side panels sorta look factory. Very interesting.

I am sure it is factory and was always a panel. The step up under the middle seat on a suburban isn't there...its flat all the way to the front seat where it drops a few inches. jon

Yes, PO modified the back to cancel out the bumper...I was fearing he used that trim piece to do it with. If you notice on the suburban picture you sent me the upper trim piece has cutouts for the window trim that aren't there on my existing panel trim.

Oops! must have been a different/older panel picture I saw with the cutouts

Look again Jon, those cutouts are for the roof supports and are on the top edge, not bottom

Yes but why are those bump outs on the lower portion there then ? Look at picture one drivers side lower middle. That's for the other piece of lower window trim. Theres another one at the front. Strange indeed. Looks good though.

I assumed they were for a wood trim guard rail or maybe a padded panel like the door panels sometimes have...?
