67-70 Vs 73-81 Brumpers

[ck5566]

I know they are not the right ones for our trucks but I have a chance on getting frt & rear chrome bumpers BUT they are for 73-81 Chevy/GMC trucks.. Just wondering if by chance they can be adapted with little to no re-working. I know they wont look right for my year which mine is a 68 C10 but its a good deal for the two. Thanks in advance

Just thought I would ask a simple question here since our Trucks also have all kinds of parts that people put on them to ether make them run or make something work better on them. Just thought i would ask

I would skip the "good deal" and look around for the correct ones.

I can tell you from experience that the front one doesn't fit right. I bought my truck recently with a 73+ bumper on it.



It sits up against the front of the body, and it's bent to get it there. Mine was done along with a bunch of other shoddy front end work, which I imagine happened after a front end collision. Seriously though, it's not worth it.

After looking at it on one of our trucks it does look too straight for our trucks, but it does fit the width though. I will pass on the idea of them. thanks

Ya that's easy to say but every time I find some there clear across the friken US. When I have found some they are in the acceptable range in $$$ but too far away, New are around $160 ea and sometimes I have found both for just a little north of a new one, and they are thinner then the OEM ones. O well I 'll have to keep on looking.
