OBS rear bumper
Are there any rear bumpers for the OBS that have a more rounded look like the front and don't hang low like an afterthought? I was noticing this the other day when parked next to a newer E150 van and was wondering if I could possibly adapt the E150 rear bumper to fit my truck...any thoughts or suggestions?

if you don't like the step bumper get a rollpan, they match the body perfectly.
have to go back to 79 and earlier to find a contoured rear bumper. the 80-86 had a smaller step bumper that kind of matched the back end of the box contours but still stuck out significantly from the body.
van body is completely different, might be able to adapt something to look decent but body lines won't match .
good luck

If I remember correctly the 80-86 trucks had a bumper that looked a lot like the econoline bumper. I would look on LMCs website or NPDs to see pictures of them and see if that is closer to what you want.
The 80-86 bumpers all bolt straight on to the 87-96 trucks.
