Did Pickup have a rear bumper or not ? I have a 29 Pickup roadster that has no rear bumper. It shows in the salesman's sales book that a rear bumper was available as an accesory for 8 dollars. I have always been told that pickups never had rear bumpers. If they did where might they be available from to allow for turn signals ? Thanks wayne

Re: Did Pickup have a rear bumper or not ? My 29 does not have one but I would be interested to know if they were available for them.

Re: Did Pickup have a rear bumper or not ? While rear bumpers were not "original", mine has one on it now. (Avitar was taken BB)
Do a search, there are several threads on the subject that I read up on before installing mine. |
Re: Did Pickup have a rear bumper or not ? On the web site "Rare Model A accesories " there is one section devoted to pickup trucks and that is where I saw it.

Re: Did Pickup have a rear bumper or not ? I have a 29 and I installed a full length rear 29 bumper. All pickups (not only Model A's) should have a trailer hitch. The only problem that I have is that if you have one that is not a 1 1/4 or 2 inch receiver type it will stick out and you cannot lower the tailgate all the way. This year I want to replace my old one with a 1 1/4 inch receiver.

"The booklet once belonged to Mr. Emmett Francois of New Jersey, who shares this rare piece of Model A literature with us. Although the book is geared towards truck buyers, many of the accessories shown are the same ones used for cars." from Bruce Wheeler's "Friends of the Model A Web Site" Model A pickups did not come with rear bumpers, nor were they a factory or dealer option to my knowledge. Some people have rigged up rear bumpers using car bumper mounts on their pickups. I am considering doing the same for mine when I get that far. Jon |
Re: Did Pickup have a rear bumper or not ? Yes that is indeed the site I found it on and I clicked on truck accesories.

Re: Did Pickup have a rear bumper or not ? I have model A bumpers on the back of my 32 PU. it was less expensive than trying to find a 32 bumper.

Re: Did Pickup have a rear bumper or not ? Do they stick out enough to protect your tailgate in a rear end bump?

Re: Did Pickup have a rear bumper or not ? I got some bar stock the matching width/thickness for the cut off rear bumper mount I had from a box of junk. I promptly welded up a bracket and used a cross member I had for my e28 open cab pickup. I didn't need to drill a hole in the frame either. I added a few stoplights as well.
