I have a 93 f250 that the bumper is all beat to hell on. I’m a fabricator and welder by trade and was looking at building a professional looking bumper (modeled after something similar to a move or fab 4 bumper design). The stone deflector is beat up and has a huge dent in it from when my truck rolled into my bench and squished a jack handle between it. (Before I put a bumper back on it). I had a crazy idea to build a stone deflector into the bumper. Kinda make it look like something in a modern Chevy where is slants into the bottom on the headlight bucket from the top of where the stock bumper would sit. Has anyone seen any pictures or knows someone who has something like this on their truck. The hardest part is going to be where the tone deflector meets the fender but I have a solid trick up my sleeve to help with the ascetic . If you have any input or pictures that would be greatly appreciated. I will put some pictures of the drafts I’ve done of the bumper and front end of the truck is anyone is confused about what I’m saying.
Thank you in advance
i used the KISS approach with mine after jack daniels decided to test the front end against a few oak trees one night.
as for the bent stone deflector, i just straightened it out and called it good.
i had a bunch of 8 inch "C" channel laying behind the shop left over from a pallet rack job a few years earlier so used that for the new bumper.
If you're a welder fabricator I have complete faith that you can whip one up and make it look great. Personally though I think that the bricknose is the last body style that Custom Steel bumpers don't just look large and out of place on. If it were me and it is because I have a 93 F-Superduty that needs a bumper I would just get one from the local wreckers. I'm watching though, if you whip up something sweet I may just have to copy you.
