Depends on what you bolt it to , Bolt it on a fleetside and it's a fleetside bumper ...bolt it to a stepside and it's a stepside bumper ...:lol::lol:

Appears to be a stepside bumper.
Outer bolt holes are close to the ends of the bumper.
This is a fleetside bumper.

ha ha copy that, I was just wondering why LMC lists them as two separate kinds yet shows only one pic:

38-9282 CHROME BUMPER FLEETSIDE 67-72 $239.95

38-9274 CHROME BUMPER STEPSIDE 67-72 (showed no price)

Thanks Keith to me it looks like the holes have the same spacing so the stepside bumper just must be narrower?

this is a pic of a 1972 I stole off the Interwebs

Classic Industries shows two different bumpers as well. Looking at the specs on them stepside is 73ins and fleetside 78ins
