I've got a definitely-original rear bumper a state away from me that is still mounted to the truck. I might be able to check in August if it has black on the backside.

But I had in mind the black backsides were reproductions. Maybe I'm wrong...
My point was I think it was re-chromed because of the black on the backside, though maybe you have a point, it's a reproduction. By the weight of it I'd say it's re-chromed GM, but then again I've never picked up a reproduction.

Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
