81-82 bumper pictures needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

gchemist · 12-31-2003, 12:20 AM

Anyone own a 81-82 truck and have a camera? I need some pictures of the bumper. Specifically the backside of the bumper. How do the turn signal lights mount? How close are the mounts to the bumper holes? I need a direct, looking up from the ground, picture of the bracket to the frame. Both sides. View from the wheel well.

Thanks Chris.
Can I get a picture of the back side? What are the measurements of the holes?
SSSSHHHHHH!! Jeff.

Due to the increase in heat under the hood from the electric fans not running all the time it's time for the you know what.

Where should I buy a new bumper?

Matt_305 · 01-02-2004, 01:11 AM

lol how I hate rice

Althought slightly off topic here I was wondering, can an 85 bumper (one without turn signal mountings in it) be set up like an 81-82 , if you cut holes in it?

8t5Silverado · 01-02-2004, 08:30 PM

I am interested in this as well...

I need a bumper anyway, so I thought I would run one of these with ducts going to the brakes like my Subaru has (from the factory, nonetheless).

I'd take some for you, but I would have to chip the ice and snow away from my lower valance to get under it with a jack!!!! If Chis can't get the pics I will brave the frigid cold for you my friend.... BTW is Austin in the DWF area, I ask cause I have to travel to Fort Worth on the 19th for work and need some info as what and where to go for some fun....

**Captkaos** · 01-09-2004, 03:23 AM

I couldn't find the bumper in the shop, I know where it is now....so I will have to go to the other location and get you pics on here Saturday.

Austin and Fort Worth are probably a little over 3 hours apart.

OH, so much for technology. I looked at a Silverado SS parked in my companies parking lot. I was disappointed to know that the SS does not use either of the bumper intakes. I guess they are just for looks.

Pleading for pics.

Prerunner1982 · 01-21-2004, 05:21 PM

G, i took a pic the best i could. will have it up hopefully tonight. but for the time being i took some measurements.

the hole itself is 8.25" wide 3" tall.. the mounting hole are 5.5" apart from center to center. the one closest to the center of the truck is approx 1 1/8th" from the edge of the hole.. the one towards the outside of the truck is approx 1.5" from the edge of the hole.. the lower hole is approx (best i could eyeball it) 4.75" from the egde closest to the center of the truck.. the bumper is also not flat, to the lower edge of the hole is 1.5" farther back than the top.. hope this helps.. if not let me know and i will try again tonight.

Prerunner1982 · 01-21-2004, 10:09 PM

G i have a pic, its too big to post. i can email it to ya if you would like.

when i tried to post it, site told me that the image could be no larger than 642x0....

gchemist · 01-21-2004, 11:22 PM

Thanks e-mail me the pics. I just changed my e-mail address due to much spam. bad bow mindspringcom You know oneword, @ and .com.

gchemist · 01-22-2004, 12:51 PM

Jon,
Thanks for the pic.

Can I beg for some more detailed pics? For example, some seeing throught the opening, underside, backside of the bumer, from the bottom of the fender forward looking at the bumper from below. The more details I can get the better.

Prerunner1982 · 01-22-2004, 01:24 PM

sure, it may take me a couple days. i knew there was a reason i hadnt replaced that housing and lense yet.. haha

Prerunner1982 · 01-23-2004, 02:58 PM

ok i took a few more, hope they are what you are lookin for. I tried to get a variety of angles. It wont be until later tonight or tomorrow until i can send them to you.. At the moment the computer i am using (in-laws) is slower than frozen pond water.

bigd65 · 01-24-2004, 07:07 AM

G, i just found a BUMPER and the guy is gonna give it to me FREE of charge :grin:

gchemist · 01-24-2004, 03:15 PM
