Rear bumpers

When i got my truck, the first thing I wanted to do was trash can the dock bumper and get a chrome one to match the front.
After seeing other sooo many other trucks with the chrome rear bumper, I'm glad i didn't take mine off. It's actually useful and I can step on it to get stuff out of the bed.

Anyone else come to this crossroad? What was your decision?

Re: Rear bumpers

I'm going to keep my step bumper on my 70 GMC. Planning to sand blast it and repaint the original creamy white.



The 57 Chevy rubber bullets will be retained also, a mod that was done when these trucks were new.

Re: Rear bumpers

Before and After pics. I am keeping the original bumper, maybe someday it will go back on the truck or another project.
