Shot in the dark...

I received a brush guard today for helping my friend take the bed of his truck, the only problem is I have no idea what brand it is or if it will even fit on my truck. Since there were no mounting brackets I was going to make my own then eventually wanted to expand it and do some custom work. I haven't been able to see if it'll look like it might bolt to something cause my trucks back home and I'm at school. Basically I'm just looking for some input, should I see if this brush guard will work or just start from scratch and make my own

It looks very universal with all of the bolt holes it has. The uprights looks on the thin side for a work guard. If you're wanting a tough brush guard, I'd use that one as a pattern and not part of the final product. If you are just going for looks, then a little angle iron and some small exhaust pipe and you're there.
