Problem: The rear bumper I had is NG, so I need to get a new one somewhere. It was a mid-70's step bumper -- see here: http://alanhorvath.com/54chevy/bedroll_lights.phpI'd like to get the same bumper as I had or something close to it. Can anyone point me in a direction as to where I might find one like this? THANKS.

However, mine didn't have the diamond plate on the top that I think I see on yours, and it might have been narrower.

I found this - it has the diamond plate, too: http://tinyurl.com/4cxebvBut I think it looks like it's deeper than the one I have (like it's wider top-to-bottom; goes down closer to the road) and may get in the way of my tailpipes? I'll get it right yet!

Good to hear about your truck!
I have seen a bumper like that w/the diamond plate
on the back of Toyota trucks (mainly 4x4s). They are more narrow
and not as thick,so your pipes wont be bouncing to the
beat of the drummer boy.
Good luck! | | | | | Joined: May 2003 Posts: 1,271 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2003 Posts: 1,271 | Thanks, bowtiesr4me
I'll do some research on the Toyota 4x4 bumpers and see what comes up.
