Freebie!!! New Bumper!!!
Long story short:

My buddies dad has a '99 F250. They were parked up in Oregon somewhere and the truck got hit by a Grey Hound bus while it was making a turn. Luckily all it did was hit there Ranch Hand bumper and barely ding it. LOL. Grey Hound bought them a brand new rear bumper and they GAVE me their old one.

I have a guy that does industrial sand blasting and he's going to blast it for me then I'm going to re-paint it.

That is the "damage" on the left side of the bumper...

SCORE!!!! That's awesome! Both for your gain, AND for Greyhound stepping up like they did!! Not many companies do that now.

Fortunately for my friends it was a very quite incident with one of their better drivers and they didnt want much said about anything. Grey hound had contacted them with the settlement idea before the day was over... LOL.

Nice score and it looks like there is an extra stock rear bumper to be had. Maybe you can pay it forward to someone, if/when the time comes.
