I'll share some other vintage American tools later that I've also scored... I know some of you like those pics and the fact that other than my modern computer , cutting table and welders I'm using mostly all vintage old American equipment to build things...1946 lathe, 1965 Bridgeport, 1960 clausing drilling station, 1966 delta rockwell gear driven bandsaw, 1940 walker turner bandsaw (a beauty once restored) and soon after this weekend another milling machine from 1930-50...havent confirmed year yet but its a Fray all angle mill, it's pretty neat and I've never seen one. Made in california. I'm trading for a welding helmet of mine. He just wants it gone....im like SOLD!

Ive got a 1914ish 170lbs Trenton anvil that I traded for a 1919 M97 Winchester 12 gauge takedown model. I traded that for an old Mosin Nagant pistol I bought for $100. I came out way ahead of the game I feel. Now I need to get a forge worked up. I love seeing old stuff used again!

And here is the latest version. With cutouts to hold a standard grill top on the vertical sides and rounded notches to lean a poker with a hot dog, marshmallows or whatever else you wanna roast on a stick. And the bottom is no longer straight across. There are raised cuts for clearance to accommodate for uneven ground surfaces. Again the handles and finger holes are oversized if you are wearing gloves in the winter. These are 299.00 plus shipping. 65lbs , 1/4" steel construction.

You'll like this then. My 1947 fray all angle mill. Another old American machine. These are rare and this one is in excellent condition.

So no more 80 rear bumpers for us poor schmucks who don't live near by?!? My worst fear has been realized
I've always wanted one, but haven't been able to get the money together yet. Do you plan on eventually offering them? or should I beg an plead for you to build one more right now before you quit making them?

I completely get this. People forget about the space required to build. Bumpers, roof racks all take dedicated space if you're going to offer them on a continual basis. All that square footage equates to rent . We have a rear 40 jig, rear 60, front 60 and front 40. Each has about 150 square feet of dedicated space not including space for inventory of the finished pieces or inventory of the material and components to build them. All the area for those 4 parts takes up about 1500 sq/ft. The other side of the building is four 15 x 20 spots. First spot has a 40 chassis for cages,
next two are for 40 build projects and the third is the "open" table for anything one off. The last The remaining of the 3500 sq ft is walk space and prep space for the trip to powder or shipping. I have a whole other 3000 sq ft building with the 6x12 plasma and packing tables, sheet steel racks and the car lift. There's never enough room for a man or woman with a lot of ideas. We started 80 rears and fronts again but I'm already considering dropping them for lack of space.

A couple great shots from a customer that just got his bumper back from powder coat. Looks awesome! Can't wait to see it mounted up.

I tried to PM Rich and didn't receive a reply. I too would like a front and rear bumper for a 60 Series. (HJ61)

Hey I got your message but it said it wasn't available for response? Never seen that before. 60 series will be in the early spring. The rear will be first more than likely. Because I have someone that's been waiting a long time. And I need one for my truck. The rear will more than likely be started probably next month.

Thank you . Spring time. Possibly sooner if things slow down.

Sorry for the delayed responses guys. I'm not getting email notifications for some reason.And have been crazy busy with work for local builders.They found me on IG and have been putting me to work building custom pieces for homes and restaurants.. along with that im building 2 bumpers that are behind schedule, i havent been coming on the forum. Been working into the night 7 days a week. So I'd like to finish these ones up. And get caught back up. Here's a couple shots of that last bumper mounted. Love the color of this truck.
