SIMPLIFIED custom bumper group buy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Top Banana · 12-07-2010, 12:56 PM

ok....we've been trying to coordinate the group buy for the new "Custom Smoothie" bumpers and we want to make this easier for everyone and for everyone to not worry about the "Count"

From NOW through Christmas Day- IF YOU BUY JUST A CUSTOM SMOOTHIE BUMPER (CHROME OR PAINTED) IT WILL SHIP FREE IN THE LOWER 48 STATES!!

for those who have already bought them we will start shipping them immediately!

How this works: just go the web links and buy the bumper. Your credit card WILL be "Authorized" the amount of the bumper and the freight charges. When we SHIP the bumper the freight charges will be removed and never charged to your card.

You can buy the chrome here for $299.00: http://www.topbananaparts.com/servle...MOOTHIE/Detail

Or the paint to match version for $259.00 here: http://www.topbananaparts.com/servle...MOOTHIE/Detail

Thanks in advance and I hope this makes it easier for everyone!

Merry Christmas!

How about a 73-87 bumper. Specifically 81-87. Are those out yet and if not do you have a tentative date when they will be. Thanks

10.5stang · 12-09-2010, 10:57 AM

I don't- we're still strying to get the prototype done to our satisfaction

justincat · 12-13-2010, 11:20 PM

well I got mine in. This bumper is sweeeeet. Thanks for the free shipping. I cant wait to get my truck painted and get this thing on. I had my buddy hold it up to the truck and it follows the lines of the truck great.

That's great! don't forget pics when it's on.

Couple notes from our fitting: We used painters tape to hold the bolts during fitting then removed it after the bumper was on; this was very effective. the second thing we found is that the tightening sequence can alter the way it looks. Don't just torque down the first bolt you get in. Snug everything and step back and look at it. Have freinds help hold/adjust it to where it looks correct and tighten from the outside in. It only took us 10-15 minutes to install for the shot you see above and the other that's been posted.

ok thanks for the tips, Is the bumper sucked in on that truck? I love the gmc grills!

no- we didn't touch or adjust the brackets at all.

tex_waco_usmc · 12-15-2010, 11:13 AM

Do these have a place to mount a license plate on them, in TX we have to have plates on the front?

Here's another shot

Gobbles · 12-16-2010, 03:08 PM

Hey Top Banana, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I was wondering if the rear bumpers are going to have a space for a license plate or if they will be all nice and smooth?

we may actually be able to do something with the step rear that doesn't require completely new tooling

texastrendz · 12-16-2010, 03:32 PM

can we see how it is mounted? i want to see the quality behind the mounting system before i buy one.

it's glue.........but it's REALLY GOOD glue. J/K. Still waiting for our final patent number so I'd prefer not to; I can tell you that it's very secure

texastrendz · 12-16-2010, 10:47 PM

that interesting, i am interested in the bumper and would like to see it when you can. i just have been burned to many times to buy something without seeing the full view of it. it looks really good on the surface and installed. thanks daniel

Just an FYI. If you register it as a Antique truck you will only get one plate and it goes on the rear . No front when it is an Antique.
