After market rear bumpers for '84 4WD CC Long bed
« on: December 14, 2013, 06:29:26 pm »
Anyone know where to buy a drop down aftermarket rear bumper for an '84 4WD, Crew Cab, Long bed?  Working on my project truck and need a new one.  Welcome any recommendations.

Not sure if this helps but most any square body bumper will work regardless of body style.

All of the aftermarket bumpers I've had were all flimsy and JUNK in my opinion.  I would find a used OEM step bumper that is straight, you can still find them.  If you ever get hit in the rear off center you will have some major damage.  At least with the OEM it has angle braces that gives it strength.

For the same reason listed above I fab my own, recess the license plate and 7 way plug. There's lots of examples to copy out there.

heres my bumper we just put on its been on a couple blazers before. it need some mods done right now it looks like my truck is wearing glasses, so i now call her "nerd". i kind of have a thing for chicks with glasses but anyway lol.
the two tubes you see on the bottom some home made are just like that for the rear or they have a cut out in the center for a license plate.
