Suburban Rear Bumper

[kchampagne]

Hello all,

I recently bought a 65 GMC Suburban 4x4. I am putting together a plan/budget for my build, especially all of the metal parts needed. I would like to order most of body metal and bumpers at one time to save on shipping. My suburban currently has homemade front and rear bumpers that I would like to replace with originals. The OEM front bumper I believe is the same as the 60-66 Chevy/GMC trucks. However, the rear suburban bumper doesn't seem to be available in a chrome reproduction. I believe I can use the reproduction rear bumper from 60-66 trucks on my suburban? Would the stepside or fleetside bumper work best? As a second option, it seems that the reproduction front bumper is very similar to the rear suburban bumper with the exception of the bolt holes? Has anyone tried to modify the brackets to retrofit a reproduction front bumper on the rear of a suburban? Any suggestions is much appreciated! Ken
