I just bought a '87 R10. It needs a rear bumper. I have a diamond plate type step bumper and want a smoother bumper without a step. After looking at the bumpers that are available through the online parts houses, I have a question about who's bumpers have the best chrome. I see 'premium' bumpers and they are way more expensive than others. Are those premium bumpers that much better? I live in south Florida and there's salt in the air. A bad chrome job will not last long.

Lmc Truck carrries back bumpers. No matter what, chrome will end up cancering out in Florida with the salty air though. Hopefully a new chrome bumper will give you n a few years of good service though.

Buy the premium one from LMC. Then when you get it, paint the inside of it with black paint. They dont come painted inside usually. Chrome on those will last a long long time

Thanks for the replies! Looks like I'll pony up the bucks for the Premium bumper. I can paint the inside with POR15.
