Who made this bumper???
I was looking around on e-bay and saw this truck
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW .
Does anyone know who's truck this is, and if so, where did they have that rear bumper made? That thing is awsome.

Hmm, for some reason the link didnt work right the first time. Try going to ebay and searching for item # 4543741159
This site handles links and pictures differently than I am used to.
Let me know if there is a way to insert a direct link or host a picture externaly to be displayed in a thread.
Thanks, and sorry for my newb'nes

To post an image from another site you have to right click on the image, click "properties", block out the address of the image, in the case of the picture about it is "http://i19.ebayimg.com/01/i/03/dd/dd/6b_1_b.JPG" and copy. Come back to posting window on this site, click on the image icon
above, paste the image address you just copied. If you are directly linking an image from another site it will only last as long as the other site has it posted. Images from eBay expire after a certain period of time and won't show up here in the future. Now for the small print, some images might be copywrighted and you should get the owner's permission. I'm not a lawyer, and I don't play one on TV, but I thought I would throw that in there just in case there is one out there reading this.

Print that picture and take it to a reputable welding shop with your truck. That bumper does not look that hard to make for an experienced welder. Will take some time to make it look pretty. Might want someone who is good with tig to make the welds look really good. There are 8 visible pieces in the front then what ever is holding it to the truck.

There used to be (may still be) a company called Barden who made those bumpers. They were I guess a leader in making them, and even homemade bumpers of the sort were referred to as "Barden Bumpers".

I have that very same style bumper on my 63 Ford pickup with the same style bed but it is not in as good of condition as that one so I am not going to use it on my truck and I'm going to put a original style bumper on it instead.

I had a 64 F-250 that had one on it. They were pretty popular back then, and I can tell you they take a wollop. I was rear ended in my 64, and it totalled the TOYota that hit me and only scratched the paint on that bumper.

I always wondered if these were fairly common. My '53 came with something similar. Sounds like it might be a Barden:

Interesting from that angle I would definitly say it is a wrap around bumper.

My 54 F250 also had a similar bumper. I'm not sure if the box was original. Seems to me that the gentleman I bought the truck from said the box was off of a newer truck. I took it off and got rid if it several years ago. Man that thing was heavey.

Back in high school my brother and I combined a 1960 big window wide bed with a 1975 4x4. That old 60 had a bumper just like that. Hard as nails and twice as tough!
Not sure where to find one, but from the sounds of things it should be fairlyh easy to track one down in a wrecking yard somewhere
Good luck
