Guys,
I've seen some M715 rubber tailgate bumpers for sale on ebay several times. Since my M has never had those on it can anyone tell me where those go and what purpose they serve? Keep it clean now...keep it clean... :wink:

On the tailgate, there are 2 bolts on the lower part of the rear face of it, where these mount on the outside...they are bumpers to keep from hitting metal on metal. I believe you can get these at Napa for a couple bucks...same part...

You can also swipe a pair off your local UPS package car. They use thm as hood bumpers. The hoods are flip-up jobbies, and ther have a cuppla these mounted to the bottom of the nose to rest on. Grab me a set of wheels, too - I hear they fit our trucks.
They cushion the tailgate/bumperette contact.
Thanks for the info, I know what you're talking about now. I don't suppose you have the NAPA number? Or can you tell me what to ask for? Those kids behind the counter always look stumped when I ask for parts for anything older than they are. And that ain't very old. :shock:Quote:

Here's a source for them: http://www.awdirect.com/awdirect/fin...fm?itemid=7348
I ordered the THB-621.
They are PACAKAGE CARS! They use the term "trucks" in their NASCAR-realted commericals so the Winston/Nextel Cup fans & trailer-park denizens can follow the entire 15-second spot.
Burn it in, man! PACKAGE CAR!
