Anyone have a decent chrome front bumper for sale? Prefer to pick up within Texas. Dave

I have one, but I'd have to ship it. You can have it for $125 plus shipping. I guess shipping to be $30-$50 maybe. It is NOT a concours quality bumper, but it is sound and with minimum rust. I put it on my '76 when I did my conversion in 2003, and drove it until I found a better one at a good price, which I just did.

Problems- dimples under the license plate bracket, where someone over-tightened too long screws. It's completely hidden if you use a front plate.

Also, flange around passenger side grill is warped (best way to describe it). Not apparent with the grill installed. You can see from the photo that it's not apparent.

Also, chrome is probably perfect at 5'-6'. Closer will reveal some imperfections, but no breaks or rust.

I can take some closer photos this weekend of the flaws, if you're interested. It's a real nice bumper for the '75-'76 conversion of a driver. Could be stripped, fixed, and replated to excellent down the road... or replaced, like I did... or kept as is.

Rubber top NOT included. Foglight/horn grills NOT included. Front plate bracket NOT included. I will include two dogbones and four stainless bolts for mounting though.

Let me know if you're interested. Photo below.

Thanks Jim,

I will be running without a front plate, so if you could post some detail pics I would appreciate it.

This bumper looks fine on a driver (see pics) or a recent conversion to save some bucks until the "right" one comes along. That's what I did. Looking for $125 plus shipping. If you decide to upgrade later (you may not, once you see it on the car), you'll get that back in a resell.
