Description
Hood to Grille Upper Filler Panel Rubber Bumpers – Pair – 1955–1957 Chevy GMC Pickup & Suburban (’55 2nd Series)
The Hood to Grille Upper Filler Panel Rubber Bumpers are designed to restore proper spacing and support between the hood and upper grille filler panel on 1955–1957 Chevy and GMC Pickup and Suburban models, including the ’55 2nd Series. These OE-style rubber components play a critical role in maintaining correct hood alignment while preventing metal-to-metal contact during hood operation. Ideal for factory-correct restorations, these bumpers help preserve original panel fit and finish on classic trucks and SUVs.
Engineered as accurate replacements for original-style components, these rubber bumpers are manufactured to match the size, shape, and density required for proper hood-to-grille interface. When installed in the upper filler panel area, they provide consistent support that helps reduce vibration, rattles, and premature wear. This is especially important on restored 3100 and 3600 series trucks where panel alignment and body gaps are closely inspected.
These parts are well-suited for restorers looking to refresh aging or deteriorated rubber that has hardened or cracked over time. Proper hood support contributes to smoother operation and helps maintain even gaps across the front sheet metal. By replacing worn originals, these bumpers assist in preserving the overall integrity of surrounding sheet metal and painted surfaces.
Offered as X-Parts by Auto Metal Direct, these rubber bumpers are third-party OE-style replacement components selected to meet AMD’s standards for fit and application accuracy. X-Parts are ideal for restorers seeking reliable replacement parts when AMD all-new tooling components are not required for the application. These bumpers integrate seamlessly into original-style restorations and are compatible with stock hood and grille configurations.
Whether completing a full front-end restoration or addressing fine-detail fitment issues, these Hood to Grille Upper Filler Panel Rubber Bumpers provide an important finishing touch for classic Chevy and GMC trucks from the mid-1950s.
