Of course everything on Ebay is correct & OEM for the car/truck listed.  I thought the front & rear bumpers on the 46 were the same. I have a set and both are the same. Notice the front bumper in the photo. It has a recessed design in the center. The rear bumper appears to have a huge curve to it. Question: Are these bumpers correct?  Thanks for your comments.

The front and rear of the 46 are supposed to be the same. I am going to buy two rechromed ones.

I also cannot open that page.
Most likely you are giving a link to a page/photo that requires you being logged into picasaweb? See if you can figure out how to obtain a publicly-viewable link to the photo.

If you can wait a bit I'll get my rechromed originals out of storage, shoot some photos and post them. I'm away from them so it may Monday before I can get at them.

Oval bolt heads OE | | | | | Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 12 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 12 | That's what my 41"s looked like before they were bobbed and chromed. Oval bolt heads are correct and can be purchased at Chevy's of the 40's.
