The 72 got the rear sport bumper today
Thanks to IronMike, I have the sport bumper installed on the 72 today. It is not perfect but a far cry better than that late model thing it had before.
I need to get the gate painted but I am considering a complete repaint as there are other body work issues to address. Like the aux fuel doors and the cowl needs replaced. The paint is not great but is not horrible either. One step at a time ![]() |

Re: The 72 got the rear sport bumper today
Do we get to poll on colors? Kind of like the gate better than the truck color. :-)

Re: The 72 got the rear sport bumper today
Looks really nice. Sometimes I toy with the idea of getting a sport bumper, but then I'd lose my fancy bottle opener lol

Re: The 72 got the rear sport bumper today
Ask anyone who is looking for one and they will tell you they are hard to find in decent condition. There is always the aftermarket solution if you don't care about originality. I would have eventually bought an aftermarket but this came up and I could not pass it up. Equally hard to find is the brackets, license plate holder and licence plate light housing.
Most trucks I see have a form of a step bumper which I think is OK for a 3/4 and 1 ton. For a 1/2 ton with a Cheyenne package, it has to have a sport bumper in my opinion. |

Re: The 72 got the rear sport bumper today
Thank you for the comments and that reminds me that I will not have time to get to Bakers today. Do they have it every week? It is about a 30 mile drive for me. Either way, you are close enough so that we can meet sometime.

But if you can find a good unpeeled standard bumper by all means save it.

Re: The 72 got the rear sport bumper today
Just think of the hours you can spend bonding with your truck waxing it's new black paint! :-)

Re: The 72 got the rear sport bumper today
I concur with CG. With all respect to those who would say otherwise, IMHO your truck has step bumper all over it. My lowered shorty - not so much, but yours.... yes.

Re: The 72 got the rear sport bumper today
All good points being made and thank you so much for the (tease) photos Tim. Now I am wondering about a color change because the black just looks so nice. Don't worry a bit, I know what is involved with having a shiny black vehicle. You cannot deny it is just something that demands attention.
As far as the bumpers go, I like the fact that if I need to step up into the bed, most of the time I can just open the tail gate and step right on up. My Cheyenne sets low enough for me to do that. It is done for the most part as a work truck. I have my eye on a 70 C20 that I am trying to convince the owner to sell me. So far he is not budging. That is OK because I am not ready to own it yet. ![]() |
