Lol. Yeah I remember I was talking to some buddies and some guy was trying to back around my truck in a parking lot. Then I see him back up and smash the corner of his bed in. I thought it was pretty funny because he didnt even scratch the spray paint off my bumper. :P

Well the truck this is on in the picture is no longer around however the bumper is now on the back of my 91 F 250. I'll try to get a shot of the front bumper on my 88.
This is all 5/16 plate. Using 2X2X1/4 tube and 2X2X1/4 angle to mount to the frame.

The farthest forward bolt also goes through the shackle bracket sandwiching the frame rail. Seems like it ought to be pretty stout to me. Time will tell, I suppose. Oh, and its 1/2" plate, not 3/8".
