    1. 1947-1955 Rear Bumper Braces

      During the Advance Design years the rear bumper braces on the 1/2 ton pickup are the same. Their cross section height is 1.75” and thickness is .35”. These units are designed with a rolling drop angle to lower the bumper to the proper level below the tailgate and rear cross sill.

    2. Advanced Design Spare Tire Assembly

      During the early years of the Advance Design trucks there were many complaints by new owners about the rear bumper. They didn't want it as standard equipment. Farmers and businesses could not get close to a dock with a bumper and they removed them soon after the truck purchase.

    3. Advanced Design Bumper

      During the 1947-1955 years, pickup's front and rear bumpers are different due to the shape of the body. Unfortunately, the front can be fit on the rear during restorations.

    4. 1954 Rear Bumper

      In 1954, GM introduced their new deeper improved stepbed. With this design the optional rear bumper required the license to be moved to the center. This eliminated clearance problems between the bumper and the left side mounted license plate.
