PLAIN CHROME REAR BUMPER QUESTION

[philo_beddoe]

Todays name brand products made overseas are held to much higher standers than years ago. I speak the truth when i tell you this bumper i got from the capt. is a heavier grade high quality steel. About 10 lbs heavier than that oem blazer one. Believe me, most of what i wear and use is made in usa. I am not paying 200 bucks for an oem bumper. Or settling for a junky junkyard oem bumper.  It would be different if the dealer still sold them.

SOMEONE MUST have one!!  I can't be installing a new rear bumper on an original paint 76 GMC!

My truck is completely rust free but has that nice patina

[philo_beddoe]

Wait, is this for the 60 apache? No, i guess the 76 gmc. As stated.

You could always get a used one and have it straightened and rechromed as needed.

Anyone with a nos rear bumper is going to want big dollars.

[philo_beddoe]

I agree with blazer, nos means $$$

[kfoz]

Yes.  For my '76 GMC C15.

I don't want an NOS one.  I want a decent to nice used one with brackets if possible. 

[philo_beddoe]

You'll find one, could take a while. If i come across one i'll let ya know.

[kfoz]

Thanks much.  I have a decent step bumper on it now I will sell.

The bumpers I sell are made over seas and comes from Key Parts.  The Blazer bumper IS the same as a pickup.  The brackets are NOT the same though.

[kfoz]

Gotcha.  Thank you Chris.

[philo_beddoe]

That is obviously correct, Blazer bumper the same. Brackets are way different. I have a mint blazer bumper and brackets. Wouldnt work on my 77 c-10. Learned the hard way, but learned well.

All i can do is sell the blazer bumper and brackets now that i got the right bumper from the site store. And a real quality bumper too. I'm impressed, being overseas and all.

[philo_beddoe]

Wait!! 81-87 blazer ....waaaayy different!!

[kfoz]

Thanks for the call Dave.  Hopefully I can find a GM one sooner than later.

[philo_beddoe]

Well, you know i'm a stickler when it comes to factory stock. But we do what we can. Sometimes ya gotta bend just a little. The bumper chris sells are real heavy quality.
