now...i know that a grand for the front and back bumpers for my 97 blazer cannot possibly be this expensive (from the dealership) ive entered the part numbers in google and nothing came up...anyone care to share their intelligence??

 

Local bone yard my friend. I think where I go you pay 20-30 for the bumper but I can't remember.

Yeah, your best bet would be to check the bone yards.

 

This is my advice as well. At the bone yards, it will be hard as heck to find them without some kind of scratch or dent. Once the bone yards get a hold of those trucks, they don't care and will slam them around.

I have a catalog right here; for front: primer bumper is $69.95, chrome bumper is $149.95, extensions are $19.95 a piece [paintable], Impact strip is $69.95, you can get a steel air deflector for $29.95. -- for regular back bumper and components: primer bumper is $99.95, step pad is $64.95, extensions are $49.95 a piece.

They also sell individual bolts, nuts, molding strips, etc. Just about anything you would need to restore your truck. They also have a few performance products, like air intakes. Good luck!

 

Wow... Hit up the local pull and save.... and you will pull and save... I picked up a hood for 75 bucks (currently on my blazer until other is painted) and man... two rock chips was worth saving the money... lol

 

Yeah, sometimes it's still cheaper to go to the bone yard even if it has minor damage.

 

hmm, i like the sound of lmc
but i might just go with a 98 front end?

 

Prices for the '98 model should be around the same. You can just go to lmctruck.com and either go through the online catalog, or request a free catalog to be mailed to you.

 

just did, i like that bumper better...looks cleaner me thinks
