rear bumper
« on: March 13, 2011, 09:13:54 pm »
So i was wondering what all rear bumper mods there were for a 73 chevy long bed. I know there's the standard big chrome ones, but i want more of a sport look. I really like the roll pans, but i dont like the idea of someone rear ending me and being half way through my bed before they stop. obviously my truck isnt ready for this yet lol but i was just curious.

Every time i tear into my truck it reminds me that it's 38 years old. Most of the time it's a good feeling. Others....

     If you do a search on here there has been a couple of threads that people have switched bumpers to different styles.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.
