    This picture on HOLLYQQD's build thread really got my interest but I didn't want to hijack his thread. Anyone here done this bumper swap? I have a couple of questions, is the Impala bumper stock width or will it require sectioning? HOLLYWQQD also mentioned a mismatch at the wheelwell opening/bumper junction, anyone have some pictures for reference? It would be a perfect addition to the '58 but I'd like a bit more info before trying to source any parts.

    Thanks in advance...

  4. That p/u is obviously "in the weeds" anyway, but with that bumper, it makes it naturally look low. It works. Don't have the answers to your questions though.

    Dan Collins did something similar to a 58 pick up using an Imperial front bumper.

    That looks like a stock 58 Impala 3 piece bumper. You want 58 Impala pics?
    I have a couple of bumpers I can prolly measure and give you a better idea, just started snowing here so it may take me a few days.

    This was "Cowocs" truck and the bumper was done by "droplord" and is currently owned by "Caddy_O". It's a bit diffrent now but retains the Impala bumper.
