    Try AutoKrafters for rebuilt/rechromed/like new. These are getting difficult to find nowadays. Good Luck.

    Go to: www.restorationchrome.com in Spokane, Wa...They have a price list on there web site. I got both my bumpers from them last year. They have a good core that they straighten & rechrome. Send it to you, then you send back your old one...Only took 2 weeks to get them, once I told them I wanted them...I'm very impressed with the results. Top quality all the way...I dealt with Jim Scott. Very nice guy...

    My rear bumper chipped at one of the bolt holes when I tried to install it. The only good side to the Bumper Boyz is the cost and warranty. $190.00 per bumper and a 2 year warranty. I returned the rear bumper twice. Crome looks good if they can keep it stuck to the metal.

    Do all these guys require a core? Anyone sell small bumpers outright, without the core? Or do they just charge more if you don't have one.

    I paid a guy $100 for the entire front bumper swap parts from an old grabber. I little rust, a couple of dings, but I did it mainly for the core swap later on.

    Restoration chrome didn't ask for the core up front. They didn't charge me a core charge either. They sent me the new one & trusted me to return a core after I put the new one on...

    I think bumperboyz only charges an extra $15 or $20 without a core .. both bumpers on my 74 are bumperboyz bumpers ..
