Hi,

I have a 1993 f-150 extended cab. It's too long to fit in my garage by the length of the bumper. I live in New York and it's getting cold so I would really like to get it in the garage. I thought about just removing the bumper completely, but don't think that is the best idea. I also considered replacing the bumper with wood cut to fit flush under the tailgate. Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Seth

 

Have you looked at roll pans?

Roll pans eliminate the step bumper with a pretty piece of fiberglass, steel or plastic. I don't know if they add a brace to them, but I've seen several offered with a hidden tow hitch. With the hidden kits, you drop the lic plate down to expose the receiver.

 

I'd also look onto the roll pan. If not, you can use the pythagorean theorem to calculate how high you need your bumper to be and get a ramp and drive up that...may be more trouble than it's worth though. Exactly how much room would you need to make?

 

Thanks guys, I looked into roll pans, but to be honest, I don't love how they all seem to look "street trucky".... Maybe there is some other option. I suppose I could just have a welder create a bumper for me out of steel, but that will likely be expensive. I am still exploring the wood idea, but need to confirm that will pass inspection.

 

What about the factory flush fit bumpers they ran on the ford trucks from 1965 t0 1988? They were on fullsize broncos. It was the option instead of a step bumper. I think they are about 6 inches more shallow than the step bumper. Just a thought.

They can be bought new.

 

Sounds like a great idea..now I just need to fine one.

 

May try looking at the conversion vans on the the 87-96 f150/250 frame? They will most likely have a smaller, fancy looking bumper.

 

LMC that sucker.
