Hi- Im back again after buying a ‘59 GMC pickup...
Hey-
Were front ‘Bumper Bullets’ standard on any year in
the 56-59 GMC Trucks??
It seems most 57 and 56 GMCs had bullets but fewer
in 58 and not too many at all in ‘59.
Tnx
Ron in upstate NY...

Years 55 and 56 they were the same part, 57 and 58 both are year specific. If you find a pair, you best hold on to them because finding others in decent shape is darn near impossible. Not too sure on the '59 trucks. You might be in luck with not having to go looking for a pair. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 67 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 67 | Thanks for the info.
