Title: My new bumper
Post by: 75chevybakers on September 05, 2010, 11:01:47 am
I bought a bumper off a 95 tahoe, just thought I'd share the pics.

looks good!  I like how from straight behind the bumper continues the curvature of the bedside under the tail light.

looks pretty good I didn't think they'd fit. I think it'd look better if it were raised more but then might hit the tailgate when it's dropped. Then for me knowing it'd fit I'd get the ones without impact strips.

yeah, I had it higher and the middle of the tailgate hit the plastic. Now when its layed down, its about 3/4" from hitting. I think it looks ok, the pic really makes it look low. Doesnt look too bad in person, hey cant beat it for $40 all together invested. Might look better on a lifted c10.

I like how the match the bed contour perfectly. I seen a post on another site maybe 67-72 and it had a flat black truck from CL posted and it looked great, fit the body perfect like yours, but looks a little wider maybe and was close to the gate, but I can't remember too good it's been awhile since I seen it.

I think it looks better on a quare body then it does my 88 that it came on stock LOL.

     I like the way it curves in at the corners, yet it is flush with the body.  Looks really good on your truck...
