Re: 1968
Well guys the bumper money was refunded. So now I need to find a link to another bumper site. Any of your guys have bought a step side bumper and is pleased with the bumper give me the link or company.

Re: 1968
Trying to order a rear bumper. There's one that I am looking at. Waiting to see if the company will respond to my e mail on the length. Don't want a repeat performance.

Re: 1968
I ordered the right bumper for my truck today. The ad stated for a step side truck and I even sent them a e mail asking if this was the right bumper. They said it was so I ordered it from Summit, it will be here on the 20th of this month.
Swamp rat I am glad also that I didn't have to go with all the steps you outlined.

Re: 1968
I got conformation on the rear bumper. It will be here VIA FedEx Tuesday Jan. 20th.
then I can start back on my truck. I need the bumper to adjust the rear Camaro gas tank. Then I can get started with the wood floor.

Re: 1968
Well, today I installed the rear bumper. I put new bumper bolts on the bumper. One bolt gave me a problem. About half way it would not tighten or loosen up any. So I had to get my cutting tool out and cut the bolt off. I installed a new one and everything is a ok.
Tomorrow, I will adjust the gas tank so it centers in the square hole I cut in the bracket a month ago. If you look close enough you can see the tank sets a little too high and a little forward. I will correct that problem tomorrow. I am saving up for the front bumper next. Maybe next week, I will order it. Also I will be ordering a set of tail gate chain covers. These are to stiff as you can see.

Re: 1968
I ordered a rear bumper from LMC after I received it I discovered I ordered a fleetside and not a stepside. It cost to much to ship it back after all it was my mistake. I will sell it or find a truck it will fit. I ordered a show quality rear bumper from ecklers, I haven't got it yet.

Classic parts sell it cheaper, but they do not ship for free and they do not take pay pal. Good luck with your build.

Re: 1968
yea, this bumper is 6 inches shorter. I like the way it fits. The only problem that I had was when I mounted the tag support. It takes four 3/8 carriage bolts. But the fourth one was a little off. So I only installed three. It can's be seen and it's only holding a tag and bracket. I did not want to re drill the hole and take a chance in damaging the bumper. Maybe later I will take a rat tail file and do the support to receive the fourth bolt. Maybe.

Re: 1968
Thanks. How far along are you with yours? I haven't heard from you in quite some time. I hope that you are getting along good. I don't envy you at all with all that snow.

Re: 1968
Today I adjusted the Camaro gas tank to the rear bumper. I mounted this old tag I found in a truck I parts out. This way I know how much room I have. I also hooked up the tag lights and the ground to the gas tank. Got everything taped up rear good. I hope to order my front bumper some time this next week.
