Getting rear bumper ready to install on a 69 442. Are the four rear bumper bolts chrome or stainless steel. Thanks

 

Neither. They are actually plain steel with a thin stainless steel cap on the outer part.

 

Did not know this. Thanks Joe

 

Please let me knwo when you find a source for them. I needed a couple for my friends 54 Super 88 and haven't found them. Fusick does not have them anymore. I remember when you could find them everywhere. I guess there is not enough demand.

 

Joe, Thanks. Do you know where I could find any originals?

 

You can get stainless capped ones at www.inlinetube.com . On p. 7 of their 442 catalog.

There's also a bunch of originals on eBay....

Man, Thanks Tom! BIG HELP...............

 

Will post pics of her after 3/23.... Then on car.....I'm so thrilled that I finally found a needle in a hay stack.... Also bought the s.s. capped bolts.....Thanks Joe.....Bye all...........

 

Just a thought - when I got my bumpers rechromed, they looked much nicer than the bumper bolts. If you give the bumper bolt heads a decent buffing, they will look great with a nicely chromed bumper. Otherwise, their dullness against the shiny chrome will stand out like no one's business!
