bumper brackets
« on: April 25, 2010, 12:56:41 PM »
I'm looking for some rubber pads that go on the rear bumper brackets they are about 2 inches long .50 wide .25 thick if you were to go to the 66 service manual on page 140-4 you will see the illustration of what they call bumper rubbers.I would think they would cover the model yrs.65,66,67.If someone could point me in the right direction for some repo's thank you.

Just looked it up in the parts book....
Fits 1966 and 1967
Group 7.838
pn 1377489

I doubt it's being repo'd. Your best bet might be NOS

Thanks Walt, BUICKFARM does not have any,do you think other gm cars may have used those and what would you suggest to replace them.I have one that still has the bottom on it but the other has broke off. I tried to use that promo code for the kyb shocks I entered VIPSKYBS in the gift card and promo section but said it was no good,did I enter it in the right section?
 

                                                     Thanks

I did a Google and eBay search on that part number and nothing else came up. I don't know if any other brands use it.
There's a guy on V-8 parting out a 67 Special...he might have them....Shaggyfinisher

If there are any 65 guys interested in a Magnaflow exhaust system or KYB shocks at 30% off......here is the link on V-8:
http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?p=1631865&posted=1#post1631865

Try this page for the front shocks:
http://www.amazon.com/KYB-KG4515-Gas-Monotube-Shock/dp/B000CO9Q68/ref=au_pf_ss_1?ie=UTF8&n=15684181&s=automotive&carId=009

And for the rears:
http://www.amazon.com/KYB-KG5507-Gas-Monotube-Shock/dp/B000C40T4G/ref=au_pf_ss_2?ie=UTF8&n=15684181&s=automotive&carId=009

Then select the free 'super saver' shipping option, and put the promo code where Greg did (Gift cards/promo codes)

30% off discount applies ONLY to items sold by Amazon, not by other sellers on their site!
