Thanks WB will try that. Its pretty good for a 3/4 as it is. This is my 3rd one over the years - had a great '67 wood truck - then a great 74 with a not-so-great 360 in it. Should have kept that one put a 390 in it. Think will keep this one!

Hello! Got bumper at LMC - the 'premium' one. Best deal as far as my research went considering shipping cost and all. Still pondering the rear bumper. I think the one on it is orig. (which is what Im trying to do as best I can). Decided to paint it (code E!).

My front is a '53-'56 bumper painted black. The rear is a dealer installed piece stamped with the dealer name on the left and a small town in Arkansas where it was apparently purchased on the right. That one will get a coat or two white, like yours and stay on the truck. The front get a 'new' chrome. I've looked at bumpers in 3 catalogs so far.

I've owned and driven at least 50 bump and dent sides, many new ones. I loved the bumps, too much crappy plastic on the dents, but I like the 57-60s better and may not ever own another bump or dent (never say never though, right) That truck of yours is a keeper. It would be my daily driver.

You have a nice truck. with all the options I am surprised to not see a radio!?! Not too sure about that gold paint on the instrument panel though. Good to see original wheels and dog dish caps on a truck these days.
