Got my new bumper on - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Solver · 10-27-2005, 09:36 PM

Picked up a rear stepside bumper at a swap meet this fall and finally got it on today. Was a used bumper but still had a warranty tag sticker on the inside edge so it couldn't have been used much!!!
$45.00 but no brackets or license holder. Got the extra pieces from Chevy Duty today so I was able to put it on. Not sure if I got it in the wrong holes or what but the angle on the bumper seems to high yet. Oh well I can tweak that when I get time
Included pic of bumper and also took a side shot as it was pretty nice here today!!

Solver · 10-28-2005, 01:29 PM

Thanks guys just glad this one is done for now
Totally dissatisfied with paint. Couldn't get a very good gloss. Even after buff
To much time invested in them to then feel embrassed about driving it
Will in the future paint everything with Base/Clear
At least it's together and I am sure someday I will redo it
Other than paint problem she's really not to bad a shape .Only problem now is that the power steering pump has a double pully on it and the alt belt is rubbing on the inside groove.Once I find a single groove pulley I'll be set to go
TnBlazerk5 sharp eye! both those are 8N's and one more in the barn.
My wife says I did that cause I'm to lazy to change attachments (Ie mower to bucket to blade and so forth)

MrC1 · 10-28-2005, 02:14 PM

Nice lookin truck, dood!

I don't know much about paint, so I gotta ask, could you lay a clear coat on top of your single stage?

Longhorn Man · 10-28-2005, 03:24 PM

That is a sharp rig there man, and subtle is the word, later model stock truck rims was a perfect touch and in all reality, as good as the rally swoul dhave looked, that's kinda been there done that anymore.
Good job.
