I have a 1930 Model A pickup truck that has a corroded front bumper and I want to replace it. My bumper width measures 64". I found a used front bumper and it measures 60".

Can anyone tell me what the correct width should be?

Thanks for your help

I have a "front" bumper on both ends of my '31 pickup. They both measure 61".

As I recall - the early 30 (first several months) bumpers were longer - 64 inches. If you are getting a good deal and it is not a fine point vehicle, 60 inches should be fine. Bill

Thanks for your reply. You have been helpful. I see that the Snyder bumpers are 64" as are mine but I have a chance to buy used 60". That works for me
