    I have no clue. It came with one of the parts trucks I bought. 54-55. I assumed it was 1st series 55. Andy said it didn't look right to him either lol

    It ain't easy being this cool Andy :rolleyes::p I struggle with it daily :D I still need to get bumper bolts, and make fender braces, put a charger port in it for my phone, so I can listen to music, and extend the fuel filler thing so it comes through the bed floor lol. Might weld the exhaust joints, the majority of them are just tacked :D

    So this is a 54 Plymouth front bumper. 100_0825 (2).JPG I added the plate bracket (which mounts off a center bolt) and removed the over riders but other wise untouched. Looks like your bumper might be pretty close, but your bumper is upside down....

    Well I turned it both ways, and I like it the way it is. Sorry.

    Your truck man. You can stand that bumper on end if it trips your trigger. :D

    The shape of the front end of that GM truck is different then the shape of the front end of my Dodge. Upside down didn't look right on my truck, but it flows better with yours.

    Hell yeah. Shit I'm cool again. Now I need a set of completely off topic 1996 Dodge Dakota wheels like @gene-koning truck has, and @Moriarity can start deleting my shit again over the wheels

    Might be the different bumpers? All I know is when I took the bumper guards off my bumper, they were pointing the other way from the one in Rusty's picture.

    I also see now that the bumper Rusty posted has a ridge across the bottom, my bumper does not have a ridge at all, may be the differences between the years.

    Why you trying to cause problems with the wheels on my truck?

    Giving you the same judgement that you're giving me. Aren't we supposed to point out everything that's wrong here?

    Ah there's been more comments on my stuff from him. I've kept my mouth shut. But I've always said if you're gonna point out shit that's wrong, you better be perfect yourself. No big deal. I'll let it go. Actually I guess I sold the truck today, so there's somebody that liked the bumper upside down huh? I told him I'm already registered for Bowling Green so I'm driving it there, he said he'll take it when I get back. Which is good because I bought me a bike. :cool:

    Forget the bike (unless you only bought a Schwinn:D), Where's that '55 Gasser project?

    I had to pay off one loan, to get another loan to buy me a bike. I'll go check out the wagon when my pocket is full of cash from the truck ;)
