Just thought I would share today's pick and pull score with you. I found this on an 82' SWB @ a pick & pull in Jessup, Md. If you are a local, then you know all about Crazy Ray's. I didn't reaize this was on the truck until all of the snow melted. Finally had a chance to go back with my buddy this morning and it was still there. Sport bumper for a fleet side with all of the brackets for 43 bucks and some change. It needs a good cleaning and has a few dents but, I thought it was worth it.

Arent these bumpers just stock ones or what is the difference. Looks like my 79 has one but i always thought it was just stock.

well if you have good ones on your scrap pile its prolly a good idea once you come back from the sandbox to pull them off the scrap pile become a supporting member and then sell them here you will more than make your money back

From what I can gather, these sport bumpers were options. I think the majority of these trucks came with step bumpers. I could be wrong though. It seems this is the look everyone is trying to achieve these days. I think it gives the truck a cleaner look like the front and rear of the square body Blazer.

the step bumper and the sport bumper brackets are different...the truck sport bumpers and the blazer/suburban rear bumpers are the same or close...the outer bumper brackets from the blazer/suburban will work on a truck, but the inner brackets will not...

oh most of the trucks ive seen have these bumpers never really see step bumpers on them.

If the step bumpers look like the one that was my truck I can see why they take them off. Mine looked like it had paint on but faded and chipped, that was the first thing I took off my truck. They may work for towing if you don't have a hitch. Mine is still sitting next to my shop with the brackets attached.

It is just the opposite in my case. The only ones I see besides the ones on this forum, are all crappy step bumpers.
