Anyone got a good place to do a chrome exchange for bumpers? I heard good things about Tr-City Chrome but they want $355 plus a core bumper. If thats the best option I guess thats where I will go but it sounds high.
The repops have die marks on the edges, you can tell they are not original.
No choice for some of us. 1973 Duster.... one-year-only bumpers. I would have bought new if I had a choice.

Has anyone used the Classic Industry ones. Curious, I've seen Tri-City and they do look good. Classic Ind. has those for my 65 Barracuda at 299 each. I'm just looking at the catalog, Haven't seen these or even called to check availability. I do know Tri-City has these in stock.
Classic Industry uses AMD. From what i've herd is they might be a little thinner steel than the OEM bumpers but unless you are going for 100pt restoration I don't think it maters. I'm buying an AMD front and getting ready to call Tri-City for my rear bumper.
The shipping is what kills the deal on the Classic Industries bumpers. Brings the price back up to almost exactly what Summit wants. Wait til you can get a 10% discount from Summit and the free shipping is what makes the deal.

I had the same question. Classic Industries have bumpers for a 65 Barracuda for 299. Less the the cost of re-plating. Tri-city has good quality from what i've been told, so which way do I go. As said before, mine isn't going to be judged except by me and a few local car guys.

Tricity bumpers are very nice. I did get a Barracuda bumper from AMD it was so bad I would never buy another one without looking at it first. I sold it 100.00 it was that bad.
