    All the aftermarket places in Georgia have nothing on their shelves . Guess what , they are ordering as you pay , and I can do the same and save about $300. I am looking for an online store that I can order a chrome 16 inch bumper or more with the VIN # . I know some centuries come with 3 piece OEM and some are not . Due to this ,I need a place that i can look up via my vin. Time to get this chrome look .

    Try Raney's. I bought my stainless steel bumper for my T2000 from them and I am happy with it. I just did a Google search for "Century Classic steel bumper" and they showed up. I had the body shop order mine from them, took about a week to deliver. I am going through the same process (same body shop using Raney) to order and install new side boxes with steps.

    Make sure you either order the brackets for final assembly or expect to create brackets when you get the bumper. The minimal kit that came with the T2000 bumper was inadequate for keeping it from vibrating.

    Next time in the petro, walk over to the chrome shop. The guy who runs it is pretty cool
    He will show you the book he orders from, and also a shiete load of other stuff for a century.

    The Joplin Petro has a bunch of stuff in stock. If you are planning to take a 10 there or the I-80 in Iowa you can call ahead to make sure. Put the truck in the shop, get a motel, and come back to a better truck. My brother and I took a 34 at the I-80 years ago and he called ahead to have them order a new muffler. Much nicer to run team with a functioning muffler.

    Almost any chrome shop can order you one, it's a pretty common truck. Though spend the extra and get stainless, you'll be glad you did. The chrome will flake off over time, yet the stainless you can sand and polish.

    Check with valley chrome. I ordered both my stainless bumpers for my Sterling through them. 20" without light bar was 1300 and 18" with light bar ran 1550.
