Re: High quality fleetside chrome bumper 1958/1959

Meter Swinger,

I was in your neck of the woods yesterday visiting PNNL. I thought of you but couldn't remember your avatar name.

Thanks for the great info. I will check out brothers'. I wonder if all these vendors get the bumpers from the same place.

Best Regards,

Derek

Small nuclear world. I take you're at INL? I'm in Health Physics. Thus the "meter swinger" handle.

Find a good used one and take it to Ogden chrome. They can straighten, remove scratches, fill holes, etc. They might even have a rep in Idaho Falls or Pocy, I know they have one in Boise, they used to wait until they had a bunch and used their own trucks for shipping to save on costs.

I got a repop for my 64 Chevelle from POL and it was quite a wrestling match to get in installed, everything was just off enough to not fit exactly. It was also noticeably lighter as others had said. Chrome was driver quality and after 5 years has held up ok.
