Rear bumper differences 67-68 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**kev2809** · 06-23-2011, 10:08 PM

i was digging through the lmc truck catalog, and i noticed the stepside and fleetside bumpers have different part numbers...which is what i expected.

i found a real good deal on craigslist for a chrome bumper, 50 bucks. but the guy said hes parting out a 68 stepside..but the bumper he has (not on the truck) is for a fleet or stepside. now i know that cant be..one has to be shorter.

can anyone measure their rear bumper (fleet and step) so i know what this guy has? i dont want to make a 2 hour round trip for nothing!

See if the guy will send you a pic, then you can post it here.

**kev2809** · 06-23-2011, 10:26 PM

good idea...i totally forgot i forwarded myself the pics to post up!

here they are..

**kev2809** · 06-23-2011, 10:26 PM

man, after looking at those pics, it looks short...

if these are too short..by how much? it comes with the brackets, and i wouldnt mind it being short as long as it still fit...maybe it would give it that tucked in look?

looks like a step to me, outer bolts are close to the end

Stepside bumper... Notice how the ends curve in.

**kev2809** · 06-23-2011, 11:22 PM

so this isnt going to be anywhere close to fitting my truck?

No it won't fit.

Brackets and license plate bracket are well worth the money...

After reading this thread I went and measured the one that was thrown in the bed of my stepside when I got it...~77" and the ends don't curve. Am I right to assume I don't have a step-side bumper???

Measured both the SWB and the step, 77 for the SWB and 71 1/2 on the step sports bumper.
$50 on a step chrome is a decent price if some one needs one.
