1939 pickup rear bumper
I am just wondering what color would the rear bumper be? I know they were an option and most of ones we see now are chrome. But were they chrome as an option in 1939? Thanks

Chrome as fair as I know. I don't think they ever had painted bumpers. Except for the ww2 black out versions.

Re: 1939 pickup rear bumper
I realize you asked about a '39, but here is Kube's recently-finished, authentically-restored '40 pick-up with the optional rear bumper, FWIW! I think it needs one of them Western Auto bolt-on trailer balls strapped to that pretty bumper. DD

All jokes aside, when I got this truck it had a car bumper and brackets on the back, wrong tail lamp brackets, etc. Of all the luck, I actually nearly fell on the correct bumper in my stash. It was straight but needed plating. A guy needs to get lucky now and then! The tail lamp brackets utilized with a truck equipped with a rear bumper were fairly easy to find.

Thanks for the information and pictures. The Green book says 39 and 40 comm. are the same. No color or finish mentioned. Thanks again.

Re: 1939 pickup rear bumper
Thanks Portlander, Your bumper looks really good. I have an old bumper for my 39 but I don't have the bumper mounts. Chrome is really nice, but is so expensive. Nice shiney chrome would also clash with the rest of my truck. Thanks
