A few different companys made them. Luverne was a big one back in the day. My old man worked at a chevy dealership in the late 60s and early 70s, and they put alot of them on. They were reffered to as a "drop" bumper since you could unhook the tailgate arms and drop the tailgate strait down. Alot of guys up here had livestock racks in thier pickups and would let you drop the tailgate, back up to a loading chute, load your livestock, and shut the gate and the tailgate. Every 67-72 around here has one or did have one since taking the tailgate off was a PITA.
Sorry for the sidetrack, I am loving the build.
