I just recently bought another 79 LUV, and it has a chrome rear bumper. I have never seen one before, and besides a little ding that can probably tapped out, its in great condition. I was just wonderin if anyone has one or ever seen one. I'll try and get some pics up as soon as I can

Is it the step bumper or like a passenger car style. LUV's came with either I think.

Both my trucks have the step bumpers... the 78 non Mikado is painted grey and the 80 Mikado is chrome. Other then the chrome the 2 are the same.

Passenger car style? I haven't seen one of those before. I was thinking about using a front bumber on the rear as well for the looks.

If anyone has pictures of the original passenger car style bumber I would love to see a picture.

I will try to scan in a better pic of it if I have one, the bumper is the same shape as the front one. Not sure what models came with it, I got mine from a junkyard in the late 80's.

EDIT: look below at the next post.

Thanks for the pics Luvrv8.

Sometimes I get tunnel vision. I figure since I was thinking about the front bumber of my truck (a '75) that everyone else would be too. lol.

The bumber does look good. I also got a kick out of your rearend. Dude, I haven't seen anything narrower. It's almost as tall as it is wide... lol

Thanks again,
Eric Q.
