hey just wondering if anyone wanted to sell a chrome front bumper for a 92-96 f-series anyone will do as long as it is chrome and it good shape. If anyone has one they want to sell let me know and we could talk about a price. Thanks!

 

I have one in "okay" shape. The chrome is good on the front, but there is a tear hole on one side. It was bumped with a forklift.

Anyway, it's in NJ.

 

kool if you wouldnt mind or if you have time send me a pic and we can go from there thanks

 

The "tear" is on the driver's side, centered top to bottom, about 2" away from the bumper bolt. directly below where the grill and the headlight/turn signal touch each other. I hammered it back fairly well, it's not awful, but it's not a new bumper obviously. I had it like this for years, never worried about it. The only reason why it's off is I replaced it with a homemade "superbumper":



I had these pictures on my webserver, if you need something higher resolution let me know and when I get home if it's not raining I'll put the bumper on bricks and take higher resolution pictures. Just wanted to give you something in the meantime, in case it's a definate "naaah, thanks anyway" type of thing.

 

yeah thats what i call a superbumper that will get anyone out of your way in a hurry. those pics are good if u want just send one of the tear if u want and then we can go from there on a price, but yeah from the pics it looks really good! thanks for the pics

 

Like I said, the bumper is "okay". I'll take hires pictures of the tear and the back tonight if it's not raining, and depending how late I get home. Darkness doesn't make for accurate pictures to make decisions on. I thought I was getting out at 5 today... doesn't look that way I'm afraid.

But, they are coming. What state are you in BTW?

 

im in NH 03245 and yeah just when u can send those pics im not in a rush thanks!

 

No matter what I do, I cannot get a good picture that accurately indicates the condition of the bumper.

Here is the close up:

If you look in the center of the picture, there is a tear in the bumper where it was hit with a fork lift prong. I banged it out from the back, so its "reasonably" flush with the face of the bumper. The chrome of course is damaged at the tear, as all I did was hammer it back. All the "dents" you see there are just really bad reflections. I tried turning it around, flipping it over, putting it in the garage, putting it in the backyard on the picnic table in the shade, and the tear doesn't come out accurately and the bumper looks like it's been sledged to death, which it has not.

Here isa a shot further away, the rotated the camera upside down since the bumper was upside down:

And again, it looks severely beaten which it is not. It's amazing how the tinyest surface imperfection looks like a disaster.

Anyway, there you have it, and you can decide from there. The inside of the bumper does have surface rust, but no holes other than the forklift impact point. The plastic thing for the license plate is included.

In the second picture, if you look to the left of the bumper, at the very bottom, there is a small double dent I didn't notice before, I wanted to point that out to be fair, since I'm whining about the awful photography, I don't want to mispresent the bumper in any way.

I can try again, if you want, maybe taking it in sunlight without the flash might work better, I really don't know.

NH is a long ride for an imperfect bumper... but you're certainly welcome. I'm in 07067. According to mapquest, you're 15 minutes short of 6 hours away. I guess we'd have to figure out shipping if you really, really wanted this. Not too sure how that would work out... I shipped an absolutely perfect chevy bumper to an ebayer out in Nevada, and it arrived bent at a 45 degree angle right where the licence plate goes. Lets just say neither of us were happy with Yellow Freight that day.

Anyway, let me know. If you do want it, I'll power washing it so you don't get any free NJ grass

 

I priced replacement bumpers last year. I think the price is under 200$ . Mine has plastic trim that cost almost as much as the bumper.

 

hey man well that aint too bad but 6 hours in definatly a long drive and sounds like shipping didnt go too well so im gonna have to keep lookin but i appreciate the help. But that bumper u made kicks *** i was wondering what u did to make that

 

"Superbumper" was very easy to make actually. Here is the pictorial start to finish:

http://www.midimonkey.com/~frederic/...perbumper.html

Was easy to make actually... I drilled holes in 4" angle iron that I slipped over the front frame snouts, and bolted them on using the existing bumper mount holes. Then to the front of the angle iron, I welded 1/4" plate across, then welded 1/4" plate for wings, then a 14 ga top which I cut to fit the profile of the 1/4" plate.

I primed it with rattle cans, and painted the bumper using my air sprayer for a nicer finish. I'd have primed with the air sprayer too, but I had 30 half empty rattle cans of primer I was sick of looking at... so I used that up.

Give the page a chance to load, I have an awful lot of pictures on it.
