    I'm looking for a nice but most importantly, straight bumper. I plan to pull a mold off of it and make a fiberglass copy. If time and energy permit, I will build a steel backer that will be functional and allow it to be mounted to the original mounting brackets. I have a 65 panel with the original front bumper on it. I may be picky but it seems that GM put the bumpers on upside down if you compare the actual body lines of the van to the bumper itself.

    PS: I would prefer a Rear bumper

    Thank You

    Mine look like they have been tied in a knot at some point but a local forge say they can get them good enough to paint - just an idea if you can't find a good one.

    The second gen bumpers are taller and a bit more sculpted and bolt right onto a first gen......IMO though, all the stock first and second gen bumpers are too long and stick out way too far.....If you made fiberglass copies that were shorter, I'll bet you could sell a few...
