I am getting ready to order both front and rear chrome bumpers for a '54 pick-up truck. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 328 Member | | Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 328 | I've seen them and they always looked very nice. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 586 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 586 | I have them on my truck and they're ok. If money was no object then I would get a set of clean used ones and get them rechromed. A nice rechrome job is a higher quality than the new ones I got from Chevy Duty.

I'd go for stainless steel. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 620 "MONGO" | | "MONGO" Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 620 | I was planning on getting a set from CD for my truck, then I saw LMC has Triple Nickel Plated one's with a 5 year gurantee for not much more and I was gonna go that route.
Then I found a guy in my club selling a set of one's he had recromed cheap and the front's off a 1 ton so it's thicker.
If I were buying new I'd go with the one's from LMC with a gurantee.
