I'm still searching high and low for a new PAINTABLE front bumper for a 92-96 F-150...

I called LMC Truck today, as I have for about the past two months, waiting for theirs to come in... Still nothing. The sales represenative that I spoke with said that it seemed they lost their supplier!! What a bummer...

Truckperformance.com has them in black, just as I need, for about $150. I wonder if they're worth anything, though? I think the manufacturer is Distinctive Truck Accessories...

Anyway, you guys know of a place online that I could get a new paintable front bumper?

I just bought a bunch of parts from frtruckparts.com, and am very pleased w/ quality and delivery. They show a black painted bumper for $96. I'll give you mine when I buy a chrome one, but I don't know how soon that's gonna be... I'm a little leery of buying aftermarket chrome.

 

Have you tried broncograveyard.com? They have all kinds of stuff for 66-96 Broncos and F-150s. I've bought from them many of times.

 

Swaheet!

Thanks for the help, fellas! I'll be checkin' 'em out.

FINALLY, the bumper I wanted came in at LMC Truck, and I ordered mine Monday.

UPS Freight just called to setup the delivery time.

Thanks for all of the suggestions!

(I only hope their bumpers work better than their window rubbers.)

i wont buy any bumpers off of LMC 6months later you start to see spots of rust and a year later the bumper is rusted all over again...

 

I didn't get the chrome... I bought the premium paintable steel bumper.

The prep before we paint it all should be good enough to hound off any rust... I hope.

You might paint it with some sort of zinc spray and then put your color over that to ward off the rust.

 

Where in tn. are you, i think i mayyyyyy have one at the house... ill look tomorrow

EDIT: i just realized the date... sorry

 

i have a front chrome bumper off an 89 f150. if anyones interested.

 

I kinda thought about that, but didn't know.

The bumper will get a coat of primer, a coat of sealer, four coats of paint, and two coats of clear... If that don't do it, I'll pull it off and put the factory chrome bumper back on it!

Just a tad too late! lol.

UPS Freight is dropping mine off this afternoon.

I appreciate it, though!

paint or undercoat the back of bumper too. I used aftermarket bumpers and replaced 2 within couple weeks of each other, The one i painted inside just starting to surface rust
the other I didn't paint is scaling badly . Good luck

Gotcha!

I'll probably spray some of that rubberized undercoating stuff from Wal Mart on the back side. Or, if I have any of this RattleGuard spray-in bedliner stuff left over, I'll use it.

The bumper came Friday, and to my suprise... It's powder-coated. A good sand, some sealer, paint, and clear should do the trick. Along with the undercoating on the backside.
