Which do you prefer?
I'm curious on what you guys prefer? Stainless steel bumpers vs. chrome bumpers? and amber blinker lens vs. the clear ones?

Chrome, amber...unless you're not running bumpers and plan on changing the turn lights (like me).

I had a 68 with chrome bumpers. The prev owner over tightened the bumper bolts on one and cracked the clear chrome protective layer. Rain water got underheth and the nickel flacked off. 
So, for my money, I'll always go with stainless if available. They are more expensive, but I think it was only $30-40 each. SS is permanant. Chrome is temporary. Sooner or later it will need to be redone. And, unless you have an orange truck, I vote for clear lenses. Good luck, Jag
