Yet another mystery.

Re: Suburban Rear Bumper
Took a look in the TECHNICAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT manual for 1963.
The specs are the same as the front bumper. CK 1405, 06, 16 C3605 Material: High Tensile Steel Gauge, nominal: .147 Width, maximum: 78.54 Height, maximum: 6.67 Availability: Standard Painted RPO V37 Chrome There's no notes mentioning a cutout. |

Re: Suburban Rear Bumper
That was my thinking as well. You would usually find a different part number if anything changed in the design. GM would have stated if there was a different part number for optioned wheel changes.

Re: Suburban Rear Bumper
The panel truck rear bumper I have also has that cutout.

Re: Suburban Rear Bumper
My 63 GMC Suburban has the notch also.

Re: Suburban Rear Bumper
Thanks jonzcustomshop for all the side-by-side comparison photos.
This is the only vehicle I know of that uses the essentially the same bumper front & rear. And neither looks out of place- like it was forced to work. Really a great design and great example of re-using parts to save money. Anyone know of another car/truck that can claim this? Now I say a great design but at the same time it was lousy in the sense that it provided no step which would have been useful on the barn door trucks. On the tailgate 'burbs it was not necessary. |

Re: Suburban Rear Bumper
Does anybody have some input on the rubber flashing between the rear bumper and back of the suburban. Is it neccesary? Is this part reproduced?
Thanks |

Here are some pics of the metal shield I had made. It's real hard to see being painted black, but when I re primer the back door, I will get a better shot. There is also a pic from underneath, and the piece of pipe tape, is for a short seal I am trying to make from some sponge-rubber I got at an old job.

Yeah it's kind of hard to see in the pictures. Thanks for the help.

Re: Suburban Rear Bumper
sorry. I'm going to be primering the rear door Sunday so will take the bumper off and get a better pic then from the top and the end.

Re: Suburban Rear Bumper
Your Welcome. I just cleaned and put it in gray primer. I am definately going to put some sealer between it and the body, as it collects dirt in the seam and I don't want any rust.
