Rear bumper replacement chrome?

[diesel DOG]

Need chrome rear bumper 2001 3500. Any brands recommended? See different ones on eBay. Looking for bumper, brackets, and pads. There was a bunch of OEM on eBay for about 430 but to late now all gone. Thanks.

All the re-chrome shops in the DFW metro-mess have closed. My body shop guy said there are rumors of a couple in the LA area, but shipping might be prohibitive from your East coast location. I think the pads and brackets are still available from Dodge dealers.

Might look in Hemmings Motor News classifieds, since our vehicles are approaching Classic/Antique status.

Check LMC Truck. Bought mine there a few years back, went with their high quality chrome (I think that's what they called it?) nice fit and still looks great. Before I installed it I taped off all the holes, scuffed the backside and undercoated it. They have all the hardware too.

Check out Fey brand bumpers

Cool Fey made USA.

My LMC body parts came in boxes marked Taiwan but had “Made in USA” stickers on all the components inside. Confusing to say the least.

I've used Sherman a few times over the years.

Fey / Westin bumper I read reviews on said it rusted in first year. 4 others say great who knows. OEM is 650 + with brackets

I had my fey for 20 years so I disagree

Good to hear Fey it is. I'll wait till spring because I have to do some body work. Don't want to install bumper twice.

Then paint the light housings. One side is on South side is grey north side is still black.

I'll have to look to be sure but I think I have a new 97 2500 rear bumper. I know I have the front one but might have the rear one also.

Where are you located?

I bought a Chrome rear bumper from Ebay about 4 years ago. I remember it was less than half the price of what "The Bumper Boys" would charge me. It was CCC, (Cheap Chinese Crap). However, it fit perfectly, was the same thickness as OEM and has held up well.

YMMV

Found it and the front bumper. Had them in the shipping container for years in case I ever needed to replace the ones on my 97. Came off a new truck at work so they are in like new condition.
I am in the Okla. Panhandle.

Very likely there is a difference in a bumpers chroming job done 20 years ago and what is being done today.The price of chrome plating has soared during that time.The quality has not.

found MOPAR dealer where I get bumper brackets and plastic license plate holder with lights for just under 400 shipped. No top pads but mine are good and I repainted them black.

I'm selling these two complete for $300 each, come and get 'em!!
