Afermarket Bumper

I looking to replace the POS rear bumper the PO installed on my '68 F250 and I'm having a hard time. Neither Ruenel or ARB seem to make one. Any suggestions?

might try looking at LMC trucks. they have a few, most look like new style bumpers, they also have roll pans.

Ruenel will custom-build one for you if you want to spend the bucks...

Actually I called Ruenel and they won't build one for me. They said they go back to 73.

Thanks for the LMD link - I was looking for something less stock - something with a deep drop.

Hmm, didn't know they were that picky...

A guy I used to work for had them build and install a custom front bumper for his motorhome, I drove him to Yuba City (where they were located at that time) to pick it up when it was ready. I got the impression at that time that they'd build a bumper for anything....guess not!

Another option if you want something custom is to find a good welding/fabrication shop in your area and have them build it for you.

As far as I can tell there is no good fab shop in Sonoma County that isn't dedicated to only one type of vehicle. It's been a thorn in my side for a while. Thanks for the help.

I used to know some folks around Santa Rosa who did race car fabrication, among other things. There are a few good fabricators up here at Clear Lake too...

Workindog - CHeck out my gallery - I've got a simular problem, aftermarket bumper on my '72, want to take it back stock. Problem is I can find the bumper, but not the brackets... I'm to the point of buying something from Blue Oval or LMC and fabricating something. Anyone else with a better idea?
