I've not found any vendors who sell 4th gen steel bumpers. I have a couple used, but I can't imagine what shipping would be for one. PM me if you're interested.

The chrome is good everywhere except a few spots on the top. No excess corrosion inside either. Unfortunately, I live in PA and I don't think there's any realistic way of getting it there and have it be worth it. :edit: whoops. you needed a rear bumper anyhow. I know where I could get one from a junkyard but it was a little rusty and the distance issue again. _________________ ~Jake Stazewski 1973 El Camino SS probably going to be a trailer Back to top a73elkyss Tech Extraordinaire Necoa #: 768 Location: 2(CT,MA,ME,NH,RI,VT) Joined: Apr 04, 2003 Posts: 1816 Year: 1973 Model: El Camino Posted: Thu Apr 13, 2006 3:31 am    Post subject: Re: 4th gen bumper HypnoCamino wrote: I need to replace my bumper on my 76 elky and i have know idea where to look for a new or a used rear bumper. SheaBurt Check out The Bumper Shop. They have 4th gen bumpers listed. I'd give them a call to check availability. Hope it helps. _________________ JW - NECOA #768 2011 El Camino SS - http://elcaminocentral.com/users/a73elkyss/.

But i wonder how much it would cost to ship a bumper and i'd bet its a lot too.

I'd say it is around $45. I would just call the vendor and give him your zip code. I'll bet they have a pretty good estimate right off the top of their heads. I didn't look, but did you post pictures of your ride? _________________ JW - NECOA #768 2011 El Camino SS - http://elcaminocentral.com/users/a73elkyss/.

It actually looked pretty dang good. Wouldn't take much cleaning to make it look really nice. Unfortunately, once I drove the 60 minute (total) round trip and paid for it then shipped it it would probably be more than you'd want to pay. _________________ ~Jake Stazewski 1973 El Camino SS probably going to be a trailer Back to top Caveman49 Platinum Supporter Necoa #: 1780 Location: Alabama Joined: Nov 10, 2003 Posts: 719 Posted: Sun Apr 16, 2006 7:21 pm    Post subject: Shea, what's wrong with the bumper you have? Do you need the complete setup or just the shell? Let me know, I'll try to work with you on it. Lee _________________ 74 El Camino 454/400turbo work in progress!

You may want to put that on the bottom of your to-do list, and fix some other priority things first. You may come across one in the future, a parts car or something, sometimes waiting is good Just my 2-cents worth anyway........ _________________ 74 El Camino 454/400turbo work in progress!

Did it bend just the inner structure? It did'nt move the frame rails to the right did it? _________________ "Still Just Truck'in" "Johnny" Bradley, Illinois Back to top Caveman49 Platinum Supporter Necoa #: 1780 Location: Alabama Joined: Nov 10, 2003 Posts: 719 Posted: Mon Apr 17, 2006 8:54 pm    Post subject: Yeah PaPa J, thats what I was thinking, maybe the inner brackets bent. Hopefully not the frame The bumper itself doesn't look bad. Of course, that is only what I'm seeing in the pictures. _________________ 74 El Camino 454/400turbo work in progress!
