STARKER!!!! Thanks Rich, i made mine out of 1.50 dia tubing so if i make factory replacements i'll order a 2" die, no biggy there. I just had to make a 150mile round trip this morning and now i can barley walk, this is why im afraid to try to do this.

If you don't mind sharing, roughly how much would it cost you to make one?

That's not a bad idea rich. But the picture with dimensions that HIO posted is for a 77 isn't it?

Yes that one is for a 77, all the top and middle and verticial bar measurements are the same between both. The difference in the 77 verus the 78/79 is the bottom mount plate (to bumper) is square ended on a 77, and rounded on a 78/79.
The other difference is the angle of the top plate arms and how the top plates curve to match the bumper angle.
Here is what you get when you put a 77 guard on a 78/79 bumper. Just need a little modification.
That truck is a 79 and the owner Alan aka earthquake68 put a 76/77 outer and inner grill shell (he got from me BTW) on it. And I GAVE him that push guard for all the help he has given me on my trucks. He has the skills to make is fit for sure.

i cant make just one or it would cost a lot. I need to buy a new die for my bender which is $200. I made my own out of 1.625 dia tubing plus its made from chromoly tubing that i had laying around from my day's of building racing chassis's, plus i made mine a little different than the factory ones. Thats why i say id have to build at least a dozen to be worth my while,Sorry buddy.
