Rubber impact strips for 1978 bumpers
« on: February 18, 2021, 10:47:02 AM »
Hi,
I‘m looking for Rubber impact strips for my '78 C10.
I saw it at pictures of Sport pickups.
Unfortenatly my search though the internet wasn‘t successfull.
Has anyone an idea where I can get some?

Regards

Hi Chris,

Don't know if you found any, but wanted to point out that the metal bumper has those strips also have features (holes) that allow mounting them. Look through new aftermarket bumpers and you will see the differences.

Maybe a Blazer bumper w/impact will work.

Hi,
thank you for your Idea. I'll look if I find some infos about the Blazer/Suburban bumpers if they fit without to much adaption work.
