Front vs. Rear Bumper

Hello! Here are some rookie questions. I hope you experts will know the answers. Besides the brackets, What are the difference(s) between the front and rear bumpers? Can they interchangeable? How can I tell them apart off the truck? Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Welcome!!

Hi Mike, The original rear bumper is flatter in the middle. Chris BTW, Nice Pickup!!

 

Thanks Chris!! I'm looking for a paintable rear bumper. I found one on epay but the guy who posted it couldn't tell me if it was a front or rear bumper. I was hoping I could determine from the picture. Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks again,

 

Hey Mike I just measured the bumpers. The rear is about 6 feet long and the front is about 6'6" measured over the face of the bumpers. Hope this helps. Chris

 

I about cried!

If anyone wants to know what my first true love looked like, it's this truck! Almost a spittin' image of the truck I had when I was 16! I've never forgot that truck- never will. I just plan on never losing the truck I have now. Good luck with your bumper search- you have a beautiful truck!

 

Thanks!! It still needs alot of Lovin'.
