47-55.1 47 - 53 Rear Bumper - where to buy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I plan on painting my bumpers. Feels silly to buy chrome. Does anyone know where to find one? I would buy used.

I have one, but it's all bent to hell. P,P,P,PO probably pulled somebody out of a ditch with a chain.

Try here. Cheaper than Chrome.

Good price...but that free shipping is worth a lot more

**mr48chev** · 03-02-2020, 05:05 PM

Why not straighten the one you have? Or if there is a chrome shop that does bumpers you might see about having them straighten it but not do the finish work. = get it to the point where you can do the finish work and priming and painting. They may look at you like you grew horns but it should be a simple process for them and you get it back straight but needing finishing.

Ok Mr. 48. I'm down for this idea.

Although, I don't have an acetylene torch. Do you think I could get away with heating it with map gas?

I'll try to find a pic of the damage.

**mr48chev** · 03-05-2020, 10:11 PM

A good stump or big round of firewood and a big hammer and a buddy fool enough to hang onto it while you beat on it might work pretty well to get it roughed back in shape.

Or if you know someone who has a hydraulic press you can use for a bit.

I'm not sure that the map gas would heat it enough to do any good nor am I sure you even need to heat it.

**joedoh** · 03-05-2020, 10:42 PM

bumpers are relatively springy, I dont think a big hammer will do a lot. best thing to do is run it over, no kidding.

i repaired one on nicks 54 that was torn in half, ended up with the gnarliest looking scar.

rear bumpers are hard to come by, (that is a front bumper on the back of nicks, lots of guys do that) I only have one and its in deplorable condition or I would offer another if I had it. there is a guy in rose hill who stashes these parts, or the swap meet is next weekend anyway.

mick53 · 03-06-2020, 11:02 PM

I have one in Indiana you can have. I bought new stainless ones. I can take pictures of it if you want.

sprworm12 · 03-20-2020, 09:03 AM

I have a new unpainted, you pay the shipping and it's yours.

mick53 · 03-21-2020, 06:19 PM

Here is my front bumper. It's yours if you want it.

Jemezcrusher · 03-22-2020, 08:44 PM

Brothers truck has a sale on. 150 for a chrome one so imagine the painted one would be cheaper

b-mac · 03-23-2020, 03:53 PM

sprworm12, I'm in. I PM'd you. But let me know if you don't get it.

mick53, I very much appreciate it brother, but yours is actually I little rougher than my current. And I have brackets built for the rear bumper.

Thanks for the note on Brothers. I'll buy new if I have to.

the rear is the same as the front.

**mongocanfly** · 03-25-2020, 06:52 AM

front and rear arnt the same...the rear doesn't have as much arch to it and is flat across the middle
borrowed pics showing difference
and the 54-55 rears have the license plate cutout
