Where's a good place to buy bumpers and with a good warranty and good quality?should I put a GM restoration bumper on my truck? Does anyone know about Goodmarks quality ? . They only come with a 1-year warranty on the finish .Thanks everyone.

Front or rear?
Ive never seen any new before but im sure there are some where.
Maybe find a used one and get it re chromed. Many people take theres off for rollpans.

All of the vendors on the home page carry them. Try GMC Paul.

I dunno if these are any better or not but I just got a new LMC Catalog that has an New PREMIUM Triple Nickel Bumpers in it thats supposed to be better. I dunno if it is or not but I don't recomend LMC. They come with a 5 year warranty and sell for $139.95 (mounting hardware not included). There previous chrome bumpers were selling for the same price. They claim they have new tooling and thats the difference.

I got my rear bumper from Ron Manes 67-72 Chevy in Raytown, MO. It nice. It is a Tri-Plus (Keyparts CO. LTD) Triple Nickel. It was $235 with the whole kit (brackets, lisense plate holder). It would of been $125 by itself. It came with a 5 Year Warranty. I am thinking this is the same bumper that LMC has just now begun to sell?

My recomendation would be www.gmcpauls.com www.kingparts.com or www.s-c-t-p.com (ATHEY'S) They have been the best people I have dealt with on my project.

I bought a rear bumper from MOTHERTRUCKERS last year.It was $110 shipped.It fits great and has excellent chrome on it.

Longhorn Man · 08-31-2002, 08:25 PM

So LMC is admiting to net haveing a good product before...go figure.
The only thing i ever got from them that fit properly...is the hat on my head.

**72 Super** · 08-31-2002, 08:30 PM

i say go with one of the board venders. why? cause there on the board and they are always helping members. i doudt some guy on a phone payed to click computers keys and enter numbers knows anything about these trucks. the board vender like WES , GMC paul, and mother trucker(sorry if i left any one out) are great with customer service and even if you dont got one of there product they try to help you out.

Try calling LMC for some tech advice...my money says that the upside down visor wearin, Honda driving, non-knowing person on the other end of the line will say...

Ummmm, dude, you put a what in a what?

Hmmm, come to think about it, the local auto zone has this guys brother pushing parts!
If and when I am ever in the position to buy new parts again, Wes and Paul have my business.
The only time I ever bought over the internet, i was flat broke, and stationed in Korea. i was getting ready to fly home to TX, and Wes told me he had a piece of trim I needed for the old Longhorn. (longhorn only trim) not only did he give me an awsome deal, (the shipping was more than he charged me for the part) he boxed it up to where there was no way in h*ll it would get damaged, and the trim BEAT ME to Texas!. All this with a "I'll be able to send you the money in a week or so".
Now THAT is service.
