Is this cracked area above my rear bumper called a "bumper filler?"

And whatever it's called, does anyone know where I can find a new one?

Thanks!

That's what it's called, but I haven't seen any like this before. I'll call in reinforcements. That's cool that you're from Brandon. I wish we had more representation from the Mississippi and Louisiana. I'm from Wesson about fifty or so minutes from you. @Old77 @RetroC10Sport @hatzie

Yep, bumper filler. Burbs were plastic and K5's for some reason got a stamped steel filler.

Was this all the way to '91, and K and V-Burbs also got plastic filler? I feel like I've seen Blazer fillers for sale, maybe reproduced, but I haven't seen any of this. It wouldn't surprise me if none of it was reproduced, though.

Not sure where you can get them but they are definitely called bumper fillers. Maybe find a used, OEM one and restore it?

Yes, through '91.

Nice used fillers are still around. They can be reconditioned to look like new.

I've got one, but I'd bet you can find one much closer to home.

Not sure how; the forum said I had insufficient privileges to post a "wanted" item.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hmm, I know some of the Hutsons in Wesson, but I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the same ones as you're talking about. I was last there about two weeks ago myself. I left to go to school at MSMS in Columbus when I was sixteen, and I'm at Tulane in New Orleans right now. My permanent residence is still there, but I don't spend very much time there anymore. Very cool, though.

You need more posts. I think you can post there at 50 posts.

I don't exactly remember how nice it was. I'm working out of town for a few more weeks, if you haven't found one by the time I get back home, I'll get some pictures and figure out shipping.
