Rear bumper reproduction

I would like to make a reproduction of the bumper you can see in the pics below, slacker sells the plastic ends in fiberglass (in case you are looking for them), so what I miss are the metal parts. Do you have one to share sizes and photos?

This guy has a set of well beat up chrome ends for a bargain $800.

I had that one on my 86 SR5. Got parking lot taps on each end that bent them, so took them off. Now just have the black center section as a hitch with a tow ball.

Better condition than the $800 set and only $125 plus.

That is the reason I decided to ask members to share some measurements and photo to make my own.
The metal base in not a problem, slacker sell the end caps, I only need the chrome parts. I would buy a fiberglass reproduction if they are available.

No. They were bent pretty good and I trashed them decades ago. I kept the center section as a tow hitch.

Here's a set that look undamaged, but will need re-chroming. Good price for resto part.

Thank you!
The plan is to straighten them and send them to Cory to make fiberglass reproductions.
Lets see if the seller wants to ship overseas...

Awesome!! Can you share dimensions and pics? I think that was the original question. Would be great if someone could reproduce them
