Have these on the local Craigslist and but I figured I'd let you guys know. I can ship them but not sure if they'd be worth it or cost effective to do so.


1-I recently purchased a Chevy K5 Blazer in Seattle, WA and brought it back to Michigan. This bumper and a 8000lb Ramsey electric winch were on the truck. I have no use for either so I traded the winch to a friend and am now looking to get rid of this bumper. Would consider a partial trade on a stock GM front bumper for one of these trucks with the bumper brackets and all hardware. I'd specifically like the 89-91 of this body style front bumper, a 80's style front bumper with the two "bumperettes", or a military Chevy CUCV bumper with attached brushguard. Would consider trades on other 73-87(91) GM fullsize truck stuff. Anything else you might have...lemme know.

This is a Ramsey winch bumper. It's similar to the Warn winch bumpers of the era but a bit better built. The Diamond plate on the wings is welded on and not bolted on. I wouldn't go bashing the wings into trees or rocks at full speed but they're actually a thicker metal than sheetmetal like the Warns are infamous for having. The mounts are nice heavy and thick metal and it took my buddy and I a good while to get the winch out. 10 bolts or so to attach the winch so it is definitely solid.
This includes the bolt on brushguard with fabricated antenna mounts (would be great for a Silver Lake or offroad park flag), the frame brackets, and basically everything attached to it aside from the stock tow hooks. I'm keeping those.
They don't use road salt or see nearly as hard of winters in Seattle as we get so while it does have surface rust in places it's all there and no scary rust. All of the bolts we took out when we took off the winch came out with hand tools. Gotta love the west coast. Clean it up and hit it with some spray paint and it'd look like new.

$150 Or Best Offer and let's make a deal. I will be in the Grand Rapids area several times this summer.

2- These running boards were on it and I have since removed them.

No road salt in Seattle so while they are a bit dirty and grungy they're not corroded or anything. Clean them up and maybe even some polish and they'd be nice and purty shiny.
Looks like at some point someone clipped the back flap on the p-side on something and bent the lower part towards the rear of the truck. Could easily be hammered back in place. There is no other damage that I have noticed.
Includes all of the necessary mounting screws and the center brackets/brace and bolts.

I have no use for these and aluminum scrap value is low so when I say $50 OR BEST OFFER I mean it.

What would shipping be to 36582 on the bumper?
I'm sure it will be high but if not I would be interested
 
Lemme see about getting a stock bumper first. I have no clue what the thing weighs. After that it would just be getting it to work and throwing it on a pallet and weighing it.

Got somewhere with a doc and forklift/pallet jack? The difference between a properly setup receiving area and having it dropped off at a house or non-dock equipped business is often decent $$$.
 
Oh yea I got a place so it would be a business address. Just let me know
 
Hahaha, not much anymore. Used to be over there all the time.
