Should I put a chrome bumper on my truck?

Ideas please. Thanks PS-check #42

 

more pictures of the rest of the truck would help. you know get a better feel for what your looking for but i would say probably not looks cool with just the smooth pan to me

 

Actually it loooks ok with just the pan ! But more pics would probably help.

 

I don't usually care for pans but, in this case, I like it.

 

I think your truck looks pretty good with the roll pan (more pics would be nice)

 

Some little chrome vertical nerf bars (push bars) would look good. I think I'd try some bumper guards (over riders), without bumpers.

 

Definitely.

 

Here ya go

 

Okay. Fine without the rear bumper.

 

I'd go for the rear bumper...of course, I'm not a big fan of the pans. Too much flat area for me. Especially since you switched to the chrome wheels, I think it would give some nice continuity front to back...

My 2 cents...

 

Put on the bumper. It will look good with the front.

 

Needs a bumper.

 

i would put it back on, i hate roll pans on pickups, nice truck otherwise

 

I would put the bumper on.

 

One more vote for the rear bumper

 

chrome bumpers are cool. I'd remove the pan and put a bumper on it.

 

Another vote for a bumper. Look's ok now, but with all the chrome up front having a chrome rear will finish off the rear nicely. I've always felt if there is chrome up front there should be some out back as well..
just my 2 cents though.

Yep, chrome bookends would be a proper look, I think. Nice truck!

 

OK guys, chrome bumper it is. I don't know much about these trucks. So, what's it "supposed" to look like back there? Thank you

 

I'm not a fan of pans myself. I think a nice rear bumper would balance the look of the truck.

BTW: Nice truck

 

Chrome bumper on the back or loose the front bumper and take it to our buddy Squeak and have him build you some nice nerf bars front and back. Of course you might have to modify the front pan to make it look right. Two cents and not worth much more.

 

Yes please... though the proper fleetside ones are hard to find.

 

yes, definately put the rear bumper on, and smooth the bolts.

truck looks great, even better with a bumper

 

If she's wearing one up front she should have one on back.All or nothin'.
Good Luck

A "Barden" bumper. In chrome, of course!

 

Now that I see the front, I'd say chrome bumper, but chrome nerfs or bumper guards still wouldn't be bad.

 

I may be a little biased, but YES, a chrome bumper would fit in very well on that truck.

 

I have to agree with Pre-K that the only Fleetsides I have seen with bumpers have the ultilitarian Barden bumpers. Perhaps that won't fit your idea of "cool" for your customized truck. BTW, as an owner of two 59/59 Chevs I really enjoyed seeing the pics of your truck especially with the Fleetside bed. Perhaps a little bumper customization could be in order to get a stepside bumper to fit the Fleetside bed. It would look cool to have the same proportion bumpers front to rear.

I agree

 

My thoughts exactly. Nice truck.
