It has a step bumper thats straight from the farm I got it at. Anyways, what would be a good source for an origional bumper in good enough condition to reuse? I don't want a new chrome one, or an old chrome one, but a used paintable bumper would be great. I have been lookin at the junk yards with not a lot of luck.
The bumper I want is the one that looks similar to the front bumper, anyways, thanks.

Well you sorta eliminated all poss. solutions with the question. Whats wrong with a new rear bumper? rough up the chrome finish, prime it and paint it. Under $200 and you won't need worry about dents/dings/rust.
I just got around to getting the frame tips welded up and putting on the front bumper this past week end.

I just want to get something of origional quality is why I was thinking about an origional bumper. Thanks for the tip.
