60-66 rear bumper ideas - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have seen the front bumper put on a step side it looked pretty cool. I have always wanted to put on a roll pan with a license plate pocket and then install the bumper with the license plate dip cut out so that it would be a 2 peace bumper.

a little better picture of my truck.

And a picture of the truck i drew inspiration from.

I will tell you it takes some effort to make this happen...

My truck has a flip down electric actuator. It flips down when I turn on the key and flips up when I turn it off.

Won’t help you since it’s a stepside. I have a ‘64 front bumper flipped and cut.

Looks like a 73-87 bumper :

I know it is not our year but I saw this truck with a trimmed and tucked rear bumper. He also has the widened rear fenders.

Nice

I did a 67-72 Fleet sport bumper on mine.

That is my favorite bumper for a street fleetside.
For a work truck I like the tough look of a Barden.

I will agree with that. I have a Barden on my short fleet trailer!

Clyde did you have to modify your bumper brackets any? I installed my 67 bumper and the top is alot further away from the bed than the bottom. I even bought new bumper brackets.

I didn’t modify anything, also got the 67-72 bumper brackets and it fit like a glove. I also did a hidden hitch (CPP) and a flip up license holder.

Here is mine. It was one of those step bumpers that wrapped around to the side of the bed and bolted to it. I chopped it and tucked it. My truck is a 3 on tree and didnt have backup lights and I didn’t want the round ones under taillights so I made my own version. I also installed Toyota Tacoma license plate lights.

rvrfoot · 06-09-2018, 11:20 PM

Oh wow nice very different!

**The Rocknrod** · 02-16-2019, 03:02 PM

I'm not so sure that bumper would work on a fleet side. Unless you pulled it away from the bed a ways. Then it'd look kind of funky. You'd probably need custom brackets to do that.
