Bumper picture

Sorry it took me so long to post a pic of my new SS bumper from D.C. My beautiful wife just returned from five weeks visiting her Sister in Ga. You would think that would have been a green lite to work on the truck, but no! I spent the whole time cleaning and fixing up our bed and bath rooms, to surprise her, (also my German Sheperd tore his other ACL and needed constant supervision). It worked she was so happy, which means happy wife happy life right? Now I can finally get to installing that block plate I posted about awhile back. Ill take pics of doing the block plate, but for now here is a pic of my new bumper. I kinda like it without, especially like Ben did his with the lites, but Ill try the bumber for a while and see if it grows on me.

Nice color, Jimmie. The bumper looks good. I was looking at the picture and the wife said, "I like that color".

Jim,
The truck looks awesome. The SS bumper really finishes it off.
I've always loved Cragars!

Where'd you get that chrome box on the running board? I like it

(sorry to hear about the dog and his other ACL)
Bobby

Well it's the color of chocolate ice cream What woman don't like that. I also like the wheels. American wheels look almost the same, them and
slots like my Uni has are the bomb on the slicks and fat fenders.

Don't ya think?

Looks great. It matches that shiny tool box on the running board. I also am partial to those Cragers. Nice ride.
