I think we are all a fat fendered crowd?
Do you have pictures you could post links to? I think when these trucks were new you could order custum aftermarket bumpers etc, at least on the bonus builts?
Welcome to FTE!
I think BobJ has posted some images of brochures showing such items??

I think they were aftermarket, but a lot of trucks had them.

I do not see them in the brochures on Earl's world.

Click the link, but it loads slow. Lots of scans of the original brochures for a 56.

I think for the most part that the stock rear bumpers on these trucks were optional, most were ordered without and the dealer installed locally made bumpers.

Most all 56s I have seen or bought have had a bumper like you state. I recently got a 56 with the stock rear bumper and it is kind of rare. Usually like Jeff said--the bumpers were not added from FORD. I like the wrap around big bumper myself.....Bill

I don't know anything about 56's bumpers, but that link is amazing! I wish they had something like that for the first Bonus Builts--I'm sure they did...I just haven't found one!
