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.

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.
