Paul Palm Apprentice P Joined: May 2008 Posts: 34 Arlington Hieghts, Il.	On a 52 chevrolet pick up with the gray painted bumpers. Did they have the high dome bright bumper bolts or were they carriage bolts painted to match the bumper. the reason I'm asking is on the rear bumper of my truck it has the high dome bolts and on the front are carriage bolts. So which is the right ones? Paul

This might be a better match than the Classics Parts of America bolts.
