MALIBU Where to get a rear bumper?

[vlmohr]

Just picked up a 78 Malibu. And one of the things I need to fix is the rear bumper. It is rusting from the inside out. So I'm in need of help trying to find a place to purchase a new solid chrome rear bumper. I've searched the net but have come up empty handed. Does anyone have a source to get one?
Thanks in advance.

OPGI?

OPGI?

They're only showing for an El Camino or a wagon with holes for the tail lights. No solid rear bumpers

I wish you new guys would post a location, Some of us have this stuff, or know people who do, but hard to help without knowing whether shipping is going to be practical

Have you checked the local wrecking yards and or swap meets.?

In the process of that. Was interested in the price of a new one.

Worse case scenario, find a good core bumper and have it rechromed...unless you're fortunate enough to find an original OEM NOS bumper within reason.

Vimohr' Put your location in your header (left side of your posts, ya do it once) then we won't have to ask every time your looking for something! Note I'm from Wisconsin maybe just a few miles from you. And yes I have bumpers that are in Very good condition with fillers that are worth more than the bumpers. And since I don't plan to use them it's possible you would be able to talk me into selling them. And when I say them, I mean both front, rear with fillers, jack (used maybe once) & OE fasteners all in near new condition. Call me if your interested 608 752 5935 & don't tex as my phone will NOT show a tex. I should mention that I have turned down one previous offer. Ole' Bob.

I think Bob has given you a good option. You may want to consider that.
