I don't remember them ever looking glossy. I would go with Semi-Gloss but don't know if that is oem. However, that would be easier to touch up later if you have to.

I picked up some flat after talking to some of the older guys in the area. they said "trucks back then were nothing fancy, they were for workin" as in matte is your best choice.

gloss is what they where I believe.....the white mirrors on my truck are NOS and they where gloss so I believe the bumpers would be the same....

all the white wheels I've had were glossy too, and many were original paint.
