Lookin for some ideas. Show off your bumper, thanks guys

 

Front or rear? or both? aftermarket or custom made? and custom made including back yard, Whiskey inspired jury rigged? Cause ive got both.........

 

the white one, a 76 has a home made front bumper, Gawd alone knows what it came from, but its got a Koenig 12000 lb PTO winch on it........The blue one, a 77 has a Warn chrome winch bumper on it

 

Post all of em! I'm lookin for a front one tho

 

At one time Warn and probably Ramsey offered bumpers for these trucks, and i think Smittybuilt offered the tube bumpers for them too.......Remember, we are talking 35-40 year old trucks here, i doubt if anyone makes anything that would be "In Stock", your probably going to either need to browse all the nearby CL's, and/or look at junkyards.
Otherwise, get it custom made, modify an existing bumper from another application, or build it yourself........What are looking for, a winch bumper for a 4wd, or just something to dress up the truck. In the case of the discontinued Warn winch bumpers, a number of years back when they still cataloged some bumpers for 70's and 80's trucks, i recall 1 part number bumper fit a bunch of 70's and even mid 80's trucks, Ford, GM, and Dodge, you just needed different mounting bracket kits, depending on which truck you put it on.

 

I need that warn bumper off your 77.

Ive been looking for a warn winch bumper.... Have yet to see one anywhere for sale. I think this summer if I have the money ill just build one. I like co425's bumpers and grinners too

 

I've been looking for a warn one for years as well. They always come up tweaked or way crazy on the price. I'll probably build my own, or weld up a new crossmember with a reciever in it.

 

Why do people put a receiver on the front. Ive always wondered that....

 

So you can throw a winch on there or it can be a very secure anchor point with a strap and pin.

 

So they can throw a winch in there when they need it. It also can be used as a very secure anchor point with a pin and strap.

 

Bingo! That way you can swap the winch from front to rear easily as well. You don't always end up facing your way out of being stuck.
