Just recently got my re-chromed original bumpers back from plate shop in Tulsa, Ok. VERY pleased I went this route rather that with re-pop bumpers. Was not cheap but so far nothing has been on this restore. Most of the times good isn't cheap and cheap isn't good.

Any tips or info about installing these would be much appreciated. Have the brackets bead blasted, primed and painted, hardware is soaking in Evapo-rust solution to clean. Other than protecting the chrome and body paint with towels wrapped around bumpers any other precautions one should take? Thinking would be best have another pair of hands to help since these aren't exactly light.

Loose assemble each piece, mount the bumper brackets, loosely bolt to the frame member and then swing up into position to fit, slowly tighten each bolt, checking fit and clearance?
