Rear bumper gravel deflectors
Does anyone know what color the gravel deflectors are supposed to be with the rear sport bumper? Body color or black? My sport bumper is also going to be black. Hugger orange truck, black roof and bumpers

Seen them both ways. My 1970 Blazer had black ones. Never any evidence of Medium Bronze paint on them. I prefer them black.
Also, it appears that you have them on the wrong sides. They are supposed to be more outboard, almost touching the bedside lip.

Re: Rear bumper gravel deflectors
Mine are chrome along with the license plate box.
Doubt it's original though

Re: Rear bumper gravel deflectors
I like the color Cemack.
![]() Your preference ![]() They wont be very visible unless you are right on top of your tail gate/rear bumper. My gravel guards, license & bumper brackets are black with chrome sport bumper with the Hugger Orange.

Re: Rear bumper gravel deflectors
Some claim they were body color, which is always "possible" but highly unlikely. The main reason, they're nearly impossible to clean/polilsh them. I suspect they were black or argent, depending on the location of assembly. My '72 Cheyenne is argent.

Re: Rear bumper gravel deflectors
Are the stepside guards different than the fleetside guards? The bolt hole locations in the OP's first pic don't look like my fleetside guards.
