Got me a BUMPER!!
I put a Big a$$ front bumper on my truck today,
I think the truck is coming along nicely
I need to remove the bottom piece from it and do some finish work, but what do you think?
now I got something to stand on while I'm under the hood
the truck is almost too BIG for my driveway??

it was on the parts truck I bought for $300
someone had put a lot of work into it then stopped and let it sit
they also did a lot of shady work but it was well worth the $ for the parts its yielding
its got either a 429 or 460 in it with a high rise dual 4 manifold
I was told it had been rebuilt before it sat for a long time?
as soon as I saw that bumper I knew it's destiny was the Highboy
That thing is just crying for a winch!!!

Thanks, I have been collecting parts for about a year now for
my 78 Bronco project then this winter I saw the 76 on
craigslist and I traded the guy my 96 s10 4x4 blazer
I have been chomping at the bit waiting for decent weather to get here
so I could jump in head first and start on this truck
I have got a lot done in the past two days,
it just needs to get a little warmer so I can do some body work
I thank you guys for the good words
I cant wait to get more done

You're right, someone put a lot of work into that. Great find. Reminds me of back in the day (WARNING: story from old fart to follow) when a buddy coudn't keep bumpers on his 74 4X4 so he brought me the main beam from a Case 4 bottom plow and told me to make him a front bumper. He never hurt that one, but it sure didn't look as good as yours.
