The dealers ordered trucks without bumpers. There were aftermarket suppliers that sold custom bumpers with the dealers name and city engraved into them. It was a really smart marketing move back then. I remember when I was little, we would see how many different dealerships we could see at the sale barns, auctions and places like that.
