Cactus Smashers are a Smash in the FTE Forums

Whether you’re buying, selling or just showcasing a badass Ford truck, the FTE forums & Marketplace are always buzzing with great posts.

If you live in the Sioux Falls, SD, area and looking to spruce up your Ford truck with a solid bumper guard, Ford Truck Enthusiasts Senior User GTT78 has what you need. And he’s looking for a local to pick up the cactus smasher that he posted in the FTE Marketplace. The push bar is for a 1978-1979 half-ton pickup, and GTT78 is asking for $350 for the used cactus smasher, pictured below.

To see just how cool these things look on a Ford truck, check out this other FTE forum thread, where Senior User skidoodave shares a couple of great shots of his award-winning vintage Ford pickup sporting some impressive gear. In the mix is a sweet-looking push bar and light setup for a 78/79 truck. Sure, the thread itself is almost vintage itself, but this topic never gets old, and the replies that skidoodave thread prompted are definitely worth a second look. Check out the thread here.
