Question on factory color schemes.

[Captkaos]

you would need new brakets to put a factory bumper on the truck, I have then in the store.
What you have is not out of the ordinary.  If you don't like the combo just paint it or switch to what you like.  It is not going to make a big difference in the trucks value.

Sorry to keep beating this topic,,,but I just found some real proof!!  About 13 seconds into this video it shows the full line of 1977 chevy trucks at this dealership, and from what we can see, NONE of them have a rear bumper!!

So, I guess I'm gonna keep my mirrors white, rear bumper GM gray, and fromt bumper white to match rims and mirrors. Most of the trucks in the video have white bumpers.

How would that look? Weird or normal factory?

Thanks!!  That sounds very much what I'm trying to do, you helped me a lot. See the post with the video from 1977. Look at the prices!! Wish I could go back in time man!!

is that when you picked it up or is that your k30 in the background?

That's my M1028 in the background.

Nice video but the proof I found a while back was talking to the dealerships and GM.  I got pulled over for no bumper when I was 18 and they gave me a ticket for no rear bumper.  I went to court with the information and they threw the ticket out with the proof I had.  (this was in 1988...)

Will this fit my 77 c-10?  Good price, but it looks like one from a ford.

I guess if you got the specific mounting kit it would

Sure is tough findind a normal non chrome aftermarket rear step bumper.  Everyone offers only the plain one.

Has anyone seen this color scheme on a 73-87 square body. I really like this combo its indigo blue metallic and tan. would love to see it on a square body before i make my decision on paint colors. any help would be appreciated.

[philo_beddoe]

Thats a good combo, would look even better on a square body.  My factory color is seamist green.  I have not seen it anywhere.
