Hey guys, tried posting this in the appearance forum before but didnt have an luck. Was looking for pictures of our generation truks with brush guards/push bumpers, so I can get some ideas as to what I would like to make, or buy for mine. I do like how the stock bumper fits against the truck, gives a good approach angle as well, but I definitely need some grill protection, any pics would be appreciated!

 

heres a pic for ya.

 

That looks sharp! Got a few Ideas goin through my head now. I do like the basis of that design of that one, maybe stretch it completely across, and make it go to the top of the grille, with a bar in the middle as well, would protect it pretty good.

 

Mine is similar to the first pic, but has places to put lights on it.

Im really liking those the more I see them!

 

I picked this up at a JY a couple years ago... It was built for a truck with a body lift and the little hoop is actually meant to be a step. Nothing I own has a body lift, so I use it upside down.






I used it to tow bar junk before I got my trailer...

I still want to weld in some D-ring tabs and angle the ends up, but it's great start for what I have in it.

 

i think mine came from Warn back in the 80's

 

KLX I've got the same bumper, pretty nice. I would suggest building one like these op...

 

Man, for some reason I really love the way that truck looks, like I would so trade mine for that one(If it drives good XD)

 

Anthony that bumper looks serious!

 

It is one militant ****!

Here's another one I have laying around:


I thought I had a pic of one my friend gave me for my Dumpster project, but I can't find it anywhere. I swore I took pictures of it on the old nag...

 

That step is real cute upside down. Looks like the worlds most pathetic grill guard. If it was a little higher it would look like you were only concerned about protecting the "FORD" emblem! A serious bumper nonetheless.

 

Crappy cell phone pic...

 

This looks like its part of a crane!

Again, seeing this kind of bumper makes them grow on me even more! Nice truck!

I'll have to build mine when I get back from my road trip and finish making my new bed!
