Been looking on line but can't find any info on where to buy a new replacement impact strip for the factory 1990 front bumper. LMC doesn't sell them.

Front bumper impact strip?

You may have an easier job than me .. I need 1985 front impact strips and I cannot find them anywhere even the salvage yards ... I have seen '90 models in the salvage yards with excellent strips you may want to consider checking there and look for the best one you can find. Also I will look back through all of my research and see if I can find a web page.
I happen to have a customer at the shop with a 1990 Mexican market C10 squarebody. Looks like any other 89-91 squarebody except the fact that it’s a C10 we never got in the US market.
He got into a little fender bender and needed the bumper, grille and core support. All of which I could source for him. Including the reproduction bumper that can take the ribbed impact strip. But like everyone else we hit a brick wall looking for the correct ribbed impact strip that has the studs that attach the strip to the bumper.
My customer has family in Mexico who indicated they have new impact strips down there. He wasn’t sure if they were GM parts or aftermarket but they were packaged. I told my customer he ought to call his family and stock up as he could sell them up here with no problem.
So I’m not sure how y’all’s Spanish is but it’s the only lead I got on them. Look south of the border online and see what comes up.

I wrote the seller to see if he had access to the manufacturer and if they may have my 85 impact strips which were on the 85-86 Deluxe bumpers.
Since you said yours is a 1990 I thought this may work for you.
Thanks,
Rob

Any word on this? Thinking about producing some but don't want to go down that road if they are made by somewhere in Mexico or anywhere else. Can't get the plain flat ones or the ribbed 89-91 version with the chrome moldling.
These are coming soon BTW if anyone is interesting in rear corner moldings on the Blazer. Blue is protective stuff that comes off.

I searched everywhere for these when restoring my burb, eventually said screw it and bought plain chrome bumpers.
