Title: Rear step Bumper?
Post by: Sartobuilt on January 26, 2012, 09:41:22 am: I have been looking around for a rear step bumper. Is there any other companies that sell a bumper that is a direct fit? I found a couple places on line but the sites are a little shady, I dont feel comfortable ordering one from those. Maybe some of you could post what you have.

Thanks

His store has some good looking factory style bumpers. He can probably hook you up on a good deal on a step bumper. If not, check Good ole JC Whitney.

Is that mounted correctly? Looks like its really close to the body at the ends. And also a little narrow. I would like one that fits a little better than that. That one looks like it came off something other than a 73-87 Chevy.

Post by: 1979C20 on February 03, 2012, 01:16:36 am: Its mounted correctly as far as I know. And, by narrow do you mean from the back of the truck? It sticks out for the tail gate about 5 or 6 inches I think. I can take another picture of it tomorrow during the day, and take a picture of the mounts.

Post by: Sartobuilt on February 03, 2012, 07:31:41 pm: I meant narrow like its not as wide as the truck. And it looks really close to the body under the tail lights. It's going on the truck in my aviator so I'm being picky. I don't want to just throw something on there.

Post by: beastie_3 on February 04, 2012, 03:21:37 pm: I think what FEY did was make a couple bumpers and had specific install/bracket kits. So one bumper would be used for a few trucks with the help of the specific install kit.

14043838 (painted)
14043836 (chrome)

Brackets part numbers are:
14014794/3 (inner brace)
14014798/7 (inner brace reinforcement)
14014800/799 (outer brace)

These show up on Ebay occasionally. I searched some NOS dealers and the part number for the painted bumper shows up... You'd need the bumper and brackets to make it work.

Maybe this will help some.

BTW

This is what I have on my '74 K10. It's an original Ruff-Neck style. They're probably a wrecking yard only item now.

This is what I have on my '73 K2500. It's a CUCV rear bumper. It's very sturdy, but no place to mount the license plate. The OE GM bumper is pretty much the same, except there'd be no pintle hitch, clevis attachments or cat's eye lights.

Post by: Jason S on February 07, 2012, 09:58:10 pm: Here is another listing for factory style rear bumpers that I dug up... Notice the RPO code and the part number for the dealer. This style is almost identical (slight differences) to the OE bumper that I listed the part numbers for in a previous post.

Post by: Sartobuilt on February 08, 2012, 12:16:22 am: Jason now your just teasing with my emotions! LOL. I'd love to find one of those dealer stamped bumpers.

Thanks for the part numbers, I'm calling my local dealership tomorrow and put those numbers in the national locator.

Post by: Jason S on February 08, 2012, 12:25:32 am: Sarto, I completely understand the situation you're in. I'd really like to find an original camper special type bumper (or at least that's what I call them) for my '73 K2500... I've even seen a truck on this site with one of those rear bumpers...

Good luck with your search.

Title: Re: Rear step Bumper?
Post by: Jason S on February 11, 2012, 09:27:39 pm: Hmm... Negative on the bumper scraping action. There's a guy on E-bay with a used OEM bumper listing it "buy it now" for $300.
