Denny, while the edges were not as you and I would like them to be they were much much better than bumpers I have purchased from Bumper Boyz and a couple of our vendors. (maybe the shearing blade was just newer?) I bought one bumper and checked it out. I liked it enough to buy another one a couple months later. Then a couple other bolters ordered and liked them.
The bumpers from Bill's actually come from somewhere in Mass. I think. I got the info somewhere. The bumpers also have a sticker on it that says Void when you pull it off. Since this company is also ISO 9000 certified says something about the company althought the "standards" could be less than we desire.
The bumpers are plated with three differnt nickels and are listed on the bumper sticker. Such as "strike nickel" and two others before chroming.
Plus the fact that Bill's were 146 with shipping while the vendors had a less quality bumper for 169/179 plus shipping.
And as you mentioned Denny, with originals needing so much work I feel Bill's give you a good bumper for the money.

My repop grille is thinner and lighter as you mentioned but since my truck will stay inside it should be ok till I leave this world.... and I paid $346 delivered to my front door.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
