where to buy used alum rims and chrome bumpers

[adam g]

Where does a guy get used or cheap aluminum rims, and chrome or stainless bumpers. I have my 89 f-250. The chrome bumper is rusted through. I will be needing tires this fall so I was trying to find used aluminums to clean up or just cheap but good. This is a budget project, as newlyweds and parents of 2 cash is a little snug.

Newlyweds on a budget..... That pretty well counts out the aluminum rims etc . How about a couple of rattle cans of flat black, now that will keep you out of the doghouse

You don't say what part of the WORLD you are in. If you are in Oregon, I will give you a Chrome bumper if you buy my Aluminum rims. (See Marketplace).

Good chrome bumpers are hard to come by unless buying new. You can usually get good deals on Alcoa take-offs from 1st gen PSD's on Ebay. Try PM'ing Darrin Tosh, he has been having a good flow of parts trucks lately.

Have you tried your local " Automotive dismantling and recycling center" i.e. junkyard?
Here is a link to a series of such yards in the Baltimore, MD area.

This is actually their price list; a nice feature so that you know what something will cosy before you pull it. It also means you pay one price regardless whether the part is for a common car, an exotic or a "diesel"

I'm from the middle of kansas. The rattle can idea will be implemented as I build my tail gate out of square tubing and horse shoes. I will probably use a few when i cut out my rusted rear cabrocker panel out and replace it[supercab].
