Greetings all. My wife & I just recently inherited her grandfather's 1976 C20 longbed farm truck. Its an original 35,000 mile workhorse that has seen its share of abuse but overall is clean and solid.
The rims & stamped steel hubcaps are pitted but I found some NOS ones and a clean set of 8-lug rims I plan on painting the original white. I also have to repaint the white front bumper.
My question is the rear bumper needs to be replaced (dented beyond repair) and its silver / grey in color. Its a diamond plate step bumper and I don't know if its original to the truck. Our intent is to slowly restore this old workhorse to factory original since its a family heirloom and it has all the paperwork since new.
What color should the new bumper be painted? White or silver?
Thanks all,
