Re: 49 rear bumper filler
Do you mean a roll pan between the bed sides or the closure piece between the bumper and rear sill?

Re: 49 rear bumper filler
Here's a couple pictures of what we came up with on my 53. Used a front bumper, which allowed the use of a front bumper valance as a starting point for the filler piece.

Re: 49 rear bumper filler
I saw this out in the cheap seats at the Inland Emperors East/West Flathead run in 2013.
 Sweet little AD that works for it's keep.  Some like the filler panel and some don't but it does a lot to fill in that space and hide what is behind the bumper.

Re: 49 rear bumper filler
If it is done to hide something, that's the way it looks.

Re: 49 rear bumper filler
Isn't that just a rear splash apron that also comes with the rounded pieces that mount in front of the rear fenders? The set up on the light blue truck looks just like what I have on my '50.

Re: 49 rear bumper filler
Torchlight - what did you use for rear brackets?
I have a 54-55 bumper - planning on using it on my 49 & want to raise it |
