Re: Dealer engraved rear bumper??

My Dad bought my truck new in our hometown of Mt Vernon, Texas, and it is stamped with the dealers name and town. It also has the manufacturer's name stamped to the right of the license plate, D&D Bumper Works, Seguin, Texas. The bumper is made out of channel iron with the top plate made out of Diamondplate. Mine also had some rust at the top due to mud being trapped there, but when I restored the truck and had the bumper Powdercoated Silver, I left the rusted area alone as a remembrance of living on the farm. It appears to me that the manufacturer may have heated the bumper and then stamped the letters on it.
