I noticed in some earlier pictures you seem to have moved the rear bumper out. which location is closer to stock? 1953 Chevrolet 3600 Fried Green T'mater (Vern) In the Stovebolt Gallery Caution: Political Statement Man who runs in front of car gets tired, man who runs behind car gets exhausted.

Didn't have a rear bumper when we started. Nice GMC you have, a rather unique color, is that a stock color?? http://community.webshots.com/user/WallyBody?vhost=community http://www.stovebolt.com/gallery/oleson_don_1951.html

We measured them up so they don't touch the running board or the box side. http://thumb15.webshots.net/t/66/566/4/23/80/2575423800103393295dVCeei_th.jpg Last edited by Wally Body; 08/25/2009 1:54 AM. http://community.webshots.com/user/WallyBody?vhost=community http://www.stovebolt.com/gallery/oleson_don_1951.html
