Topic: HELP! I need a rear bumper!

[justJR]

Okay, so after all of this horrible weather here in Colorado, some idiot in a huge jalopy finally clipped the back of my truck and bent up the left corner of the bumper and cracked up the cladding.
GM wants $500 for the bumper, and $300 for the cover.
If someone comes across a grey, cladded one PLEASE let me know.

Try eBay. Use "chevy avalanche" for your search. Atleast 20 pages should come right up :thumb:

Well, after all of my stressing on getting hit, I was able to pull the cladded bumper cover and straighten the bumper itself and I found a cover here in town so now I can get back to rims and those cool power locks for the back of the truck.

Good deal.  The metal bumper is pretty tough.  More often than not, in a minor accident, they just get knocked out of adjustment where the brackets bolt to the frame .

The covers aren't that expensive.  I think TnTrubble bought a new one for about $160 from a Millington Chevy.  That was back when they were giving club member a discount.

i found one off of a truck that had been creamed in the front for $95.00. The bumper itself just had a nasty bend in the outside bracket on the left.

You got a pretty solid lick to do that.  :-\

Yea, 1973 Plymouth Fury 3's have a way of inflicting quite a bit of damage with minimal effort!

Glad you got all squared away JR!

Try your local junkyard but chances are youll end up buying new.

...btw...life is too short to be drinking & driving.

Do we want to know how you messed up the rear bumper driving forward?

Check eBay out. I ordered my front bumper cover last night from a body shop in Illinois. They have a regular website also - do a Google search on Pershing Auto Body - I don't know if they have the rear covers as I didn't look. My front cover was $252 delivered to my door, which is considerably cheaper than what the General wants.

dang. i found a rear bumper cover for $138.00 i just hope the actual bumper isnt un repairable.
