Rear Bumper
Looking for a rear step-bumper that is chrome and black.
72 C10. Needs to be able to pull a bass boat. Any after-market ideas, or maybe a GM replacement? Thanks |

What does the boat and traler weigh?
I don't trust those step bumpers myself, I've seen too many of them rip or bend. |

I too vote for a hitch instead of a bumper, on my Dads 70CST when I took the bumper off when I started the ground up the bumper was bent about an inch off at the center of being straight. And we are talking about a wimpy bumper here, this thing weighed ALOT and was made with thick diamond plate.
Just something to consider |

1200 pounds plus what for the trailer?
Tounge weight don't mean anything...the total weight can rip a bumper off. besides...step bumpers look funny. (IMO) |
