I learned something new today: 1-ton Panel/Suburban rear bumpers, although the same size, shape and bolt spacing as all AD front bumpers, are much thicker material. My front bumper measures .156" Rear bumper .250" Otherwise they are identical and both will fit on either front or rear of a Sub.

I'll be damn, I never would have thought of that! On my truck I ran a rear bumper both front and rear. Don't know what I am going to do now. It's funny because back then, I didn't even know there was a front and a rear bumper (front one being longer) until after mine were chromed and I was driving it and saw other trucks at shows. Being it's going to be a driver I may just stick those on as the chrome is in decent shape.
My dream is to thin them taking an inch or so off the height of them so they look more "Corvettie." But then that's a bunch for chrome, so we will see.
