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 :

Sorry Cris - I’ve been working in the arctic and didn’t see your question until today. I used piece of 5” x 3/16” flat steel and some 3/16 x 1” angle iron to make the bumper - welded in some dummy bumper bolt heads - 1/4” flat steel for the mounts - took,about 2 hours - painted it then wiped it off with thinners to get the aged steel look. Quite pleased with the finished product

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.

rvrfoot · 06-06-2018, 11:34 PM

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.

bigboar · 06-09-2018, 10:12 PM

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.

Oh wow nice very different!

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.
