1965 Chevy C10s repop bumper guards
 
Hello
I was thinking about adding bumper guards to my truck. I think the originals would be too much $$ for my taste? How good it bad are the repos? I would like to hear what brand is the best. Dynacore or Goodmark? They all about the same??
Thanks
Pete

Repops around $100, Anything NOS is Anything Your Willing to Pay (If you can find one). You better stick to repops if the clock is an issue. :lol:;)

What's the end goal of your project? Unless you're doing a full blown top dollar restore, repops will do very well. Does a 100%-200% increase in price give you a 100%-200% better product for what you're trying to do?

**** if you seen my truck I’m not picky. I just don’t want to start drilling holes in the bumpers because no of this crap fits right.

Hahaha I just found a used clock that doesn’t work from a guy I used to buy Corvette parts from in the 90’s. He had it for ever and took it off a 4 door Nova 😮. I was a “steal” ? Compared to other prices I have seen for a old clock that doesn’t work lol

Trucks and cars in general are terrible on your return. I never gone into thinking I’m going to get my money back this is the “other money pit”

I bought NOS ones and had them stripped and re-chromed, they fit my re-chromed bumper nicely.

I have repops front and rear chrome bumpers on my 60. They are not bad at all. I will probably put the repop bumper guards on mine some time soon.
