Could this have been original. If not, Is there any way to tell which one was the original? Chrome or white? Thanks for the help. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,439 Moderator - The Electrical Bay | | Moderator - The Electrical Bay Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 3,439 | my 66 GMC had a chrome front bumper and grill.

Additionally, rear bumpers, painted or chrome were a factory or dealer option. If your truck came from the factory or dealer with chrome (anodized aluminum) grille and chrome front/rear bumpers, they would be listed as an option on the sticker on the inside back or the glove box door or on a option list between the foam and springs in the seat back behind the driver's side.
Factory painted front bumpers came from the factory with painted to match bumper bolts with carriage heads. If the front bumper was chrome from the factory, it will have carriage bolts with a polished stainless caps.
I hope this information is helpful. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 10 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 10 | | | | | | Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 181 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 181 | Just like 66/Stepside said, my truck was the same way. Looks odd, but that is the way it was. | | |
