Title: 66' bumper?
Post by: the dan on January 31, 2013, 02:43:54 pm

Has anyone used like a 66' bumper on their square bodies? (http://image.classictrucks.com/f/26834554+w750+st0/0912clt_01_z+1966_chevy_c10_pickup_truck+custom_front_grill.jpg)

Nope, but when I got one of my 64/66s years ago it had a 73/80 bumper scabbed on it. It looked horrid. It was one of the first things to go!

I'd guess you'll find it's too narrow to go on as is...maybe notching the fenders for a formed fit if so? Do you have one to measure? Lorne

Not yet, my cousin is building a 66 so i may borrow it, i dont have the front clip on my truck yet so it doesnt really matter that much right now. im just thinking ahead so i dont get stuck smashing my stock one and getting all agrivated at the ugly license plate location

Maybe someone can provide a photoshop of what it might look like.
