I am thinking about puting in an old school roll bar into my 1978 f-150 4x4 flareside . who makes a good one to use ?

 

Good luck.
I've been after one for a long time.
There are VERY few new ones made.
There's a connect off of Ebay and anything new is mucho cheese.
Finding an old one is REAL tough.
Of course some guys just seem to trip over the good stuff.

 

Whoops I tripped again, lol the roll bar/light bar on the right in the pic, I think, is out of a pace truck? Its the same diameter as the OEM push guard, but not for a flareside.

Bigbruce I am sure there are some on line businesses that make aftermarket "universal" ones that are 3" light bars and black or chrome.

Go Rhino

Try the craigslist first, or about any good local welding should be able to whip you one right up for a little less than a mail order one.

 

LOL
Exactly who I was thinking of.
Sure wish I lived closer to your playground Rich.
Those Rhinos aren't as expensive as I remember, thanks.

 

Daggumit ... We should just start calling your kingdom "The Dent Farm".

 

I call that part the Ford "LOT" and then there is the Ford shed and or "the line up". Here I am going to a swap meet with 35's, 2 sets of 37's some 15x38's, a few Ford lift kits, intakes, bunch of rims.

The guard dog (Taz) is a fellow FTE members that had the table of models and more Ford parts too.

sorry

Ok enough all this and lets get back to getting the PO a light bar.

 

Now I know where all the black door panel's are hiding.
Have any none xlt black panels their? I don't like the fugly 77-79 xlt panel's. Really hate the fake wood insert. Lol.
I need a set of plain standard black panel's. I have the older xlt chrome trim to put on later.

 

To the OP....

If yer dead set on a roll (light) bar but can't find one (like me), consider re-purposing and modifying a ladder rack off a van. The 'yards are filled with 'em for dirt cheap. I got a pair for $26. Another benefit is that it casts light down the trail instead of through the cab and on your neck.

 

gspence I was only posting pic, NOT trying to sale things in this thread, like you did earlier in that other thread lol, ROTFLMAO, JK. ha ha

g spence Pm me and we'll chat about it.

HIO nice grill detail trick and truck!

over, sorry but I did post light bar links for the OP.

 

Me too and I was very bummed out to find there is only one option (so far) - Go Rhino. I priced a chrome one out at Summit - a double with a single kicker that mounts on the inner fender hump plus the light bar attachment and (4) 130w KC daylighters... ready for this... drum roll... $1,577.08

My biggest fear is that its made in China and would start rusting after a couple years being outside.

I want some '70's fender flares too but there is nobody making em.

Good luck and keep us posted if you find one.

 

Hey turbo hunter. I'll keep and eye out for one next time I go to the yards. I got mine out of pick n pull rancho. I'll pick it up if I see one. This is the one I got.

 

Lmao. :P:$:S«»§{}

 

I have on similar to co425 ill sell I also have one from hio like he has on the fbomb but I'mkeeping that one.lol if ya want pics pm me ur cell.

 

I have been thinking of going with black rims, after seeing co425, think i will, lol.

 

I got black wheels last time I got what I got. I regret it. I wish I'd have stuck with good ol' white American Racing.

You should buy white ones, swing by and trade 'em out.
