Kind of a weird request, but thinking about changing out my rear bumper on the 75 swb 2wd. It currently has a nice chrome step bumper but have been thinking of the more period correct slimmer chrome bumper these trucks came with. The LMC truck catalog carries one that looks like what I have in mind. Not really interested a roll pan. Does anyone have pics they can share?

Mine had the "Contour Chrome" bumper on rear when I bought it but I soon decided that was not a good bumper for my uses. It was in great shape .... so I sold it and I made this one .... it's 3/16" (or maybe thicker) steel channel about 8 or 10" tall and with 2" lips, I notched ends and bent in and welded, made the license plate well, and added the diamond plate on top. Made some 1/4" plates to mount it with to frame. It's stout.
Painted contour rear bumper on a 5th generation Bumpside truck but, it's the same style used in the 6th generation Dentsides --although the mounting bolt points are a little different from a bumper that would go on a Denside, due to frame width differences but, you get the idea.
I bought my rear bumper, mounting brackets/bolts and license plate lights through NPD (National Parts Depot).
I got this on the back of mine when I bought the truck. No idea who makes it. Thought it looked kinda corny, but it's looks pretty heavy duty even with all that chrome, so I'll hang on to it for now. Just some ideas...
