Re: 60-66 rear bumper ideas

And a picture of the truck i drew inspiration from. I will tell you it takes some effort to make this happen...

Re: 60-66 rear bumper ideas
My truck has a flip down electric actuator. It flips down when I turn on the key and flips up when I turn it off.

Re: 60-66 rear bumper ideas
Won’t help you since it’s a stepside. I have a ‘64 front bumper flipped and cut.

Re: 60-66 rear bumper ideas
Sorry Cris - I’ve been working in the arctic and didn’t see your question until today. I used piece of 5” x 3/16” flat steel and some 3/16 x 1” angle iron to make the bumper - welded in some dummy bumper bolt heads - 1/4” flat steel for the mounts - took,about 2 hours - painted it then wiped it off with thinners to get the aged steel look. Quite pleased with the finished product

Re: 60-66 rear bumper ideas
I know it is not our year but I saw this truck with a trimmed and tucked rear bumper. He also has the widened rear fenders.

Re: 60-66 rear bumper ideas

Re: 60-66 rear bumper ideas
That is my favorite bumper for a street fleetside.
For a work truck I like the tough look of a Barden.

Re: 60-66 rear bumper ideas
I will agree with that. I have a Barden on my short fleet trailer!

Re: 60-66 rear bumper ideas
Clyde did you have to modify your bumper brackets any? I installed my 67 bumper and the top is alot further away from the bed than the bottom. I even bought new bumper brackets.

Re: 60-66 rear bumper ideas
I didn’t modify anything, also got the 67-72 bumper brackets and it fit like a glove. I also did a hidden hitch (CPP) and a flip up license holder.

Re: 60-66 rear bumper ideas
Here is mine. It was one of those step bumpers that wrapped around to the side of the bed and bolted to it. I chopped it and tucked it. My truck is a 3 on tree and didnt have backup lights and I didn’t want the round ones under taillights so I made my own version. I also installed Toyota Tacoma license plate lights.

Re: 60-66 rear bumper ideas
I like that! Is that a Stepside bumper? Looks like the ends wrap around, aren’t the fleet side bumpers straight?

Re: 60-66 rear bumper ideas
I'm not so sure that bumper would work on a fleet side. Unless you pulled it away from the bed a ways. Then it'd look kind of funky. You'd probably need custom brackets to do that.
