1972 K10 rear bumper with cut outs for exaust - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

kingsthunder · 03-29-2017, 07:21 PM

I saw a rear bumper in my new LMC catalog with cut outs for exaust tips. Has anyone bought and used this bumper? I want one for my 72K10 with a blazer poly tank installed. Just wondering about the fit...

Thanks for the feedback. Ill post pics when I get mine installed.

With Dodge doing this from factory, in my mind it's a Dodge thing not for Chevys. How about a racing stripe around the tail end?

Hey, to each their own, but that's how I (and I'm sure others) see those bumpers. Also, not really custom when you buy, pull from box, and bolt on. It's the accessory kind of thing you do to a new truck to make it yours. With old stuff there are many better ways to create your own one of a kind piece.

It's not just Dodge, take a look around. Many manufacturers agrees it looks good. I'm not brand loyal at all. Looks and functional aspects are more appealing to me. And the day I can afford to drop some cash on a NV4500 in my truck, I will. Kinda like the gas tank door graphed into my bed from a BMW to get that gas tank out of my cab. Bone head design. Thanks for your opinion.

I like exhaust cut outs. I would be be a little nervous about the quality of the chrome on a LMC bumper- just my opinion

I have bought several from them. Couple rear and a front. Had them on a vehicle uncovered for several years and zero rust. I have been surprised.

rmneder · 03-31-2017, 08:04 PM
