I am writing this with questions about getting a new steel bumper for my truck. I have a 79 f-150 and i want a steel bumper that i can mount a wench to and probably a rear bumper to match. I have seen a few sites charging $2000+ for just the front. Does anyone know of a good resource to find a bumper that would suit my needs? I don't mind spending a little to get one but $2000+ seems a bit high, but maybe it isn't? Anyways if anyone knows a site that I can get a decent bumper or a place in Colorado that sells them? As i cannot craft one my self!

Reason: adjust vehicle for assistance
Get a local welding shop to make you a Warn copy. I know a FTE member that made the green/white trucks bumper....for like $350. protofab made the red one and the rear one too. https://protofab4x4.com/product-tag/7879bump/ https://protofab4x4.com/?attachment_id=489
Take the pic with the measurements and go talk to the teacher at the Vo-tech welding class. See if he has any student that like a challenge. You offer to pay for material and pizza.
I run a snow plow up front for 6 months out of the year, which other than the low ground clearance of the plow frame, is the absolute best at 'GTFO my way, I dont care, come and try me" attitude.
For may through October, I'll be instituting "the punisher" , which will be a simple piece of "6 steel pipe filled with concrete, and my winch mounted behind that, between the bumper and grill. I am fabbing it up now as we speak, pics available in a few days.
