See picture. WHat is the function of this lip-type thing at the bottom of the bumper? It looks pretty cool, I like how it gives the truck a different look. Where can I get one of these?
Not my picture, just googled it.

Not sure if it's called the same on our trucks. But, it's a front valence. Mine had one when I bought my truck. Pulled it off though. I'd offer it for sale, but it's a but torn up.

IIRC 73-80 trucks did not come with these from the factory, only 81-7s did and up to 91 blazers.
thanks

I would try to pick one up at a junk yard. I don't know if all the 81-87/91's came with them but I know the k10 I have does still have it. So maybe just look around for a used one at the yard.

Family is not an important thing. It's everything.

It's an Air Dam, it's designed to help direct more air up and through the radiator instead of underneath the truck to assist with cooling. They really help for sports cars but I doubt very much for the truck (my 84 camaro had one and my 2000 camaro and my 83 silverado have them)
