Rear Bumper
Hey guys/ gals. I currently have the diamond plate rear step bumper on my 71 C10. I am wanting to replace it with an original repro style. Will I have to purchase new brackets or do they work interchangeable?

Re: Rear Bumper
I did the same thing recently, I had to buy the new brackets...the old bumper had simple plate steel brackets

Re: Rear Bumper
LMC has the brakets available but I don't remember the price right off hand. I don't think they were that bad. I'm going to do the same thing with mine.

Re: Rear Bumper
Yes you have to have brackets. The ones you have are most likely a generic type with your bumper made to fit the "other" type trucks as well. That is why when you look at them they will have unused sets of holes.Jim

Re: Rear Bumper
I did the same thing. You have to buy everything. The license plate bracket, light, bolts ( bumper and bracket bolts) and brackets and ya the gravel shield. I did it from classic industries it was a little over $300. Worth it in my opinion it completely changed the look of my truck

Re: Rear Bumper
I have helped convert many of these trucks from step bumpers to the smooth rear bumpers with all the related hardware. It really dresses them up. I sell parts for local purchase from my part time business in the Des Moines area, and I usually have at least 2 new bumpers with full set of hardware in stock. I have 3 right now. Art

I chose the painted one. Came in black primer. I thought it looked cool so I left it in primer.

Re: Rear Bumper
The smooth bumpers do look nice but OMGosh are the step bumpers a help when climbing over a tail gate!
Once I get my truck running I am going to try and get a step bumper or maybe make my own now that I can weld a little bit. |
