73-87 stepside rear bumper

My truck has no rear bumper and I want to put one but I saw a nice short rear bumper on some trucks and the others have ugly very wide ones I searched for it and there is a guy in another country has a brand new one claiming its for stepside but how can I know its the short one not the wide one?

Example
Short


Wide

LMC sells the short one that is for a stepside.

Those 2 bumpers appear to be the same length to me..They both look like they go just past the tail lights.

Re: 73-87 stepside rear bumper

Has anyone purchased a rear stepside bumper from LMC?

I am wondering about quality. Are they really thin?

Re: 73-87 stepside rear bumper

The 73-87 STEPSIDE trucks use the same rear bumper as the 67-72 STEPSIDE trucks.
However the brackets are different.
You can buy these from MANY sources.

These are the brackets you need:

Re: 73-87 stepside rear bumper

I heard the LMC bumpers were not high quality.

Anyone buy from classic industries?

Classic Parts of America sells Tri-Plus bumpers.
I've had good luck with them.
