Barden Step Bumper on 64 Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Picked up this Barden step bumper a few weeks back for my 64 and finally got around to installing it. I don't think I've seen pics of another one that tucks up close like this with the hitch under the bed.

Is that common?

I thought it was the wrong bumper for the truck at first but all the mounting holes etc lined up fine.

i had one on a 65 and it is awesome it allows you to fully drop the tailgate and backup to the loading dock

Oh that makes sense. Thanks!

I never even thought to see if the tailgate would swing all the way down.

I have never seen one of those.

That is great how it tucks under the tailgate.

Had one of these on mine. Not going back with it though. I think if the ball hitch wasn't on it, the tailgate would open all the way as well.
