Question on factory color schemes.

[Irish_Alley]

IF i find free time i have a couple photoshop projects that need to be started and finished, ill try to add this one on also. shouldnt be too hard but sometimes the colors dont change easy and i have to spend some time on it

Ok thanks that would be very much appreciated

Yes, Irish..thanks. Looking forward to seing that. 

I think I am just going to paint the front bumper white (like many factory ones), and order a paintable rear with the mounting brackets and paint that one white also. My rims are white and my mirrors are white and eventually I will paint the "Chevrolet" letters on the tailgate white.  I would prefer to have both bumpers the same color.

Or,,,I could get stainless mirrors, and a stainless rear step bumper from "that large online catalog".

Could someone please list from this page (I blotted out the vendor info) what items I need to buy to convert from a step to a plain bumper?  Also, the step bumper has two holes for the license plate lights, what do you do for the license plate light on the plain bumper?

Brackets for your year, bolts, bumper and license plate mount and light...  You might checkout this page:http://store.73-87chevytrucks.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=7&Category_Code=7387RearBumpers

This light: http://store.73-87chevytrucks.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=7&Product_Code=0849-625&Category_Code=7387RearBumpers.  It mounts onto the license plate bracket

This is the exact look i'm going for.  My factory color was seamist green, but,, i just like the red and white split with the chrome.

Well after all said and done, i got a factory chrome plain bumper and factory stainless mirrors.  Shoud look sharp after install.  Will post a pic.

Alright I ended up using ziegs truck cause I had the template set up for the ext cab. But here it is

[philo_beddoe]

Nice! That green is the same color as my whole truck.

Soon i'll be back to factory chrome rear plain bumper and OEM stainless mirrors.  Will post pic when complete for opinions. I'm giving up on white all together.

Update, i installed stupid wrong bumper! Just ordered new one from site store. Just like my other post, "101 combinations"i understand the different generations, but why cant every 73-87 be identical!!  Fleetside, stepside, wideside, dually, ...blazer, suburban! Too many options, styles, sub models! Every part should fit every vehicle!! Im just venting cuz i got the wrong bumper!

Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought white was a bad idea

[philo_beddoe]

Thank you zieg for setting me straight!! Amen!

The Capt. said the bumper is in the mail. I'm 8 bolts away from my factory look.  (and a coat of paint)

I'll post a boat load of pics soon, i'm calling it the "factory roll out model" ---available at your new england chevy dealer's!
