I'm guessing this is a little too small as it won't protect the fenders. Call it a narrowed bumper :metal: 58 gmc 08-20-2006, 06:59 PM thanks, looks great, i dont know which way i will go. thanks again jeff 66`shortbed 08-20-2006, 10:04 PM go with the chrome bumper Ric83 08-21-2006, 11:25 AM Maybe the picture doesn't really do it justice, but I like it better without. Zumo 08-21-2006, 11:43 AM I like the bumber as well. Jebb1978 08-22-2006, 11:34 AM I vote for the bumper too Jeff, I had planned to do a rollpan at first but then decided on a bumper. These pictures have helped me affirm this decision. I like the bumper pic. northerngmc 08-23-2006, 05:32 PM another 2 cents for you........ I like a rear bumper. If this helps here is a picture of mine. yote1234 08-23-2006, 10:28 PM bumper is a good thing in general...... 58 gmc 08-28-2006, 07:48 PM thanks for that pic, i like your truck with the bumper on it, now i have to do a little riggin and welding to get the brackets to fit without messing up the rollpan. CAL 58 GMC 08-28-2006, 09:38 PM I say, no bumber! 450hp69chevy 08-29-2006, 02:49 PM Go with the bumper! Looks better and it will protect your gem better too. 75Chevy90Kawi 08-31-2006, 10:56 PM i almost ALWAYS prefer bumer vs. no bumber. and this case is no exception :) 58 gmc 09-10-2006, 02:37 PM thanks for everyones input on this bumper issue but after receiving the new bumper i have come to the conclusion that it wont fit because the rear fenders have been widened 2 inches so if anyone needs a new rear bumper and brackets let me know. thanks again jeff maybe a earlier bumper would fit? Rydn2L0w 09-10-2006, 04:04 PM This era truck looks odd with out a bumper. The 67 -72 fleetside looks better with a roll pan. I want to put a roll pan on the back of my suburban but reinforce behind it. Im going to run a bumper on the front. I dont like the look of a front roll pan. just my two cents. |
