Who has the best bumpers?

Ive been looking around the forum here and i realize the best bumpers are rechromed originals but these are out of my price range. i was wondering who makes the best repros. Im looking to get a rear bumper for my 63 "wrongbed" Any help is great

I'm pretty certain you'll find all the repros are made in the same factory.

Get what you pay for, purchased a front bumper for the 65 and found it is very inferior metal, stood on it while checking out the engine compartment and put a bow in it. Subsequently went out and purchased a used original and plating shop straighten and rechome, cost about as much as it would have for a current day reproduction.
