70 C10 Front Bumper ?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey y'all, I'd MUCH rather get my original USA made front bumper straightened out (it's not too bad, really) and chromed than to buy a Taiwan repro. Does ANYBODY do this anymore? TIA, H.
PS, Thanks guys for the advice on tires. 8" Ralleys and 255/70/15 T/A's went on today! Looks GREAT. Pic's to follow. Now if my ***************** airbags will show up, I'll get that rear end down a bit.....

There are still a few places around, but you probably can't afford it and due to EPA regs the plating is nowhere near as good as it used to be.

He is right, you'd probably be looking at 100-200% increase in price.

I just had a shaved front bumper show chromed in Tampa for the wifes 57 it was 384.67 with the epa and haz waste tax, 57 grill 564.92. If it was a non shaved bumper i would of used a 115.00 TRI PLUS bumper.
