Correct placement of Bumper Guards - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Canuckvetter** · 08-11-2018, 11:42 PM

I surfed through 54 pages of "Let's see those slant noses" and the truck with guards are 50-50 for placement location.
Which one is correct? Pics borrowed from that thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1534045260

According to installation instructions the first picture is correct for the 67-70 style. That is where the dealer would have installed them if dealer installed. I don't like them there and always put them in the 'wrong' place at the frame end where bumper bolts. Looks best and makes most sense to me.

I agree, first picture is the correct way, but I think it blocks away from the view of the turn signals and beauty of the 67-8 grill. I don't have them on my 67 yet, but have them on my 70 Blazer and mounted using the bolt holes and will mount this way also on the 67.

Thanks for the input fellas.

I always thought on 67-70 they were supposed to be centered with the turn signals. At least on the chevys.
However, it does look good on that blazer!

I'm with special K on the placement although it maybe wrong I personally think it looks cleaner and proportional to have them on the frame ends.
