Chicken lights are known to the big rigs as the lights under the bumper. I think it started with the chicken haulers that gussied up their trucks with all the lights they could put on them.

Guess I misread, Thought you were looking for the lights. The actual bar is an ordered piece, depending on length desired. Atleast it is for our T2000s.
If I was going to do it, I would go get aluminum and poloish and seal it. Its cheaper, and easier to fab brackets up for it also

OTR does have its problems. I used to haul tanker all over the easteren US. Gone 5 days 4 nights almost every week. Its very hard with kids. But you would be surprised at how many bad drivers there are. It usewd to be a proud profession, but I think that everyone will agree that it has gone by the wayside. Drivers have to run illegal just to earn a decent check, not to mention the idiots that are out there on the road with you. I would say that there are more BAD big truck drivers on the road then there are good, and just a few short years ago, it would be the complete opposite. Too many new cmpany drivers that think they are super truckers, that really dont have a clue about doing a vehicle inspection, tie down, etc.... We run into it all the time here, literally three times a day or more. Talking about it makes me want to get into a different business.....LOL

speaking of bad truck drivers,the company my brother works for, super service, needed an extra truck the other day, imagine that with 800 trucks. they were loaned a truck under contract by one of the owner ops who was out of town on vacation. my brother told him before he left town, "now you be super careful man, that truck isn't ours, its an owner ops who was nice enough to loan it to us." the guy said, "boys u need to figure this out, there are truck drivers, and then there are TRUUCK DRIIIIVERS!. and i am a TRUUCK DRIIIIVER!!! i KNOW how to drive a truck, and DO NOT tear trucks up!!!"
he came in a week later, with a fender off of that new Freightliner. my brother says D@MN!!!! you are a TRUUCK DRIIIIVER!!!

Ive thought about putting one of those black factory style air deflectors under my bumper and putting some "chicken lights" on it. Like this truck. Ive seen the deflectors on F-150s and gas F-250s but dunno that ive ever seen them on a diesel. Is it maybe an airflow issue?
