Is the bumper upside down?

**paulspickupparts** · 06-19-2017, 11:03 PM

Is that a repo grille ? If so are you happy with the fit?. Thanks

Hey Paul yes a repro grill from Classic Parts. It's a nice reproduction and I'm happy with the fit. I had to harvest the mounting brackets off the original grill otherwise it was very easy to install.

Your truck looks sweet! I think the bumper is right side up, but I like the upside down look better. To me it fits the filler piece better.

i believe gm used the same bumper but turned it upside-down for 58-9

you both have it the same way as truk and the gm brochure above

lmc truck ran this 58 on the cover of their catalog a couple years ago
mounted same way as 55-57
