Hi. New to posting. I m from Texas now. Have a 78 K5 Blazer 1 family truck. Been doing a frame off since 1995. Ya I know. I am originally from Pennsylvania and the truck was up there and I have been in Texas for 17 years. Have her now and getting back to it. Lots of helpful info and knowledgeable folks here, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Im wandering if anyone has compared the chrome bumpers from different vendors? Lmc classic industries or others for fit and finish? Or do the wall get them from the same place? Also has anyone used a 78 style bumper with 91 style front clip. How does it line up? Thanks.

My lmc front bumper rusted in the first year. My high dollar step bumper for the rear rusted 2 years later.

Front bumper from LMC has been on 2 years. No rusting but it has been in storage for 1/2 the time. Chrome wasn't great and material is thinner than original. If you want a nice bumper get the original redone and willing to pay up. Chrome plating here has always been expensive, now its crazy. $1,200 for decent [not show] chrome wouldn't surprise me at all.
