Default WTB 68-73 Rear Bumpers

I got a call from the chrome shop yesterday and to my surprise they said my original rear bumpers had holes in them after they removed them from the strip tank. Now I am in the market for a pair of rear bumpers. I don’t care about the condition of the chrome as I can have them re-chromed. The main thing is they have to be solid cores with no rust issues. If you have some that do not need to be re-chromed, all the better! I can pick them up if you don’t want to ship.

Just a note. Depending on the size of the holes, they can easily and cheaply be repaired and then re-chromed. I have had this done and was surprised at how well they turned out. Maybe worth looking into.

I have a pair. Little rust area but solid, no dents.

Will send pictures when I get home.

I have one side that was rechromed and perfect. The other side is a solid solid core.
400.00 shipped. I have 3 of one side all rechromed. What happened was I sent 2 pairs of left and right and got back 4 of one side. so I had to go into my excess pile and find 4 of the other side to match.
Hope that helps

Thank to all that posted and sent me PMs. I now have what I need to have nicely re-chromed rear bumpers!

Regards,
Rick
