For those of you who have done a rear bumper....

First poster.

I need to replace a rear bumper on the 2000. It passes inspection for the state, but is failing miserably in the eye sore category from rust.

I did do a search on the site and read that some have gone the ebay route.
For those who have gone this way, are you getting a complete package or sections? My center is bad as well as the left side, but figured do all three to keep is even.

I found one on ebay, any thoughts?

Just got my truck back from the garage. Along with getting timing belt,water pump, valve cover gaskets, etc. done, I had them replace my back bumper with the aftermarket rear center section I bought from E-Bay. Overall I am very happy how it came out. Chrome is better than rust any day.
Fitment is always an issue with aftermarket parts, but again I am happy the way it came out and cheaper than a body shop. I assume you read my thread on here:
