All the ones I see in the junk yards look a little bent there. Like someone hooked a tow strap to it. But it also looks like it could be factory.. Thanks..

Thanks.. it gets that bent look from bumping things with the corners of the bumber. I have done it to a few bumper. I have also used a BFH to make a few bent ones look way better for daily drives. the later bumpers are fatter looking with no tag cut out, they will get the same small bend in the middle. BUT..some times a bumper has the bend from a chain hooked to it BOBS bumper does not look after market to me??? it looks well used but not aftermarket.

One of my good friends was a factory rep for some aftermarket bumper manufacturer for quite a few years. He drove around a five-state area in a van loaded to the gills with new aftermarket bumpers. He sold them to new truck dealers who would buy the new trucks without bumpers and then put on the cheaper aftermarket bumpers. It's a fact of life. R.
