where's waldo? Bumper guard again - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, my bumper guard has 2 uprights that are not the same. I think one is original and one is JC Whitney maybe. I don't have it in my possession at this time due to it being dug out of storage but to my recollection of discussion at purchase the rusty one in the picture is shorter and maybe has thicker ridges. If anyone has one upright available that would match one or the other of mine (hopefully the one on right). The other thread reminded me to start searching this out.

edit: I don't have exact diminsions until I put my hands on them which will be a few days and actually tried to cancel this post until then but I just discovered it accidently posted lol.

I've got one that the only part that is almost usable is the right upright and one bar.

Know what? and until I just looked at the photo, the uprights are totally different from each other and the drivers side one looks like it has more ridges yet.

Well that theory sure didn't fly. It must be the way the light hits the drivers side upright in the photos.

Both uprights have three ribs when you look at them close.

It also seems but I am not positive that they are identical and there isn't a left and right but I still need to do some more checking on that.

That's funny when I first looked at picture I thought same thing u ntilI looked towards bottom of the upright.

I think there is not a left and right also but don't have mine in hand. If you are willing to part with it just pm me with price.

Thank you Rob,

Richard

That guy always wants a bit more for his junk than I think it's worth.

Here's a shot of the back side of the one on the drivers side. It also has all the brackets. I'll send you a pm as I'm getting tired of moving the thing around.

Top of back

Gives a good at how they are put together.
