talk to bosshog, he'd probably swap you a stock 55 bumper for that. his aren't too bad, no worse than annie's bumper was and we straightened it in the vise with bfh

Ige & Pighead know my intent & direction for Ol Roy-Im good with swapping the bumper for the iron. If you have another piece for the rear I'll swap that too...

Works for me, but wait until you get this front before committing to an even swap. Inspect and if you decide it's worth less than yours or don't want, no hard feelings.

Will check what's on rear this afternoon, but thinking it's an OE pig bumper.

Need the side chrome surrounds, if anyone turns up anything.

Kick ass. Thank you, thank you.

Do you need weather stripping for the windshield swap?

I know it won't work on the chrome surround, but have an SOR front gasket, if y'all need to swap....or need for whatever.

Other notes:

Have lots of glass. No usable windshields, but all kinds side and rear. At least one full Pigs worth, maybe more.

Was going to try to get BossHog's channel bumper out tomorrow and may have room for more "stuff" if anything comes to mind as needed.

Are you interested in the SOR axle kit?

SOR carb kit?

[NO PIC]

I've no use for either and be more than happy to throw in with Boss' bumper if y'all can see using.

is that the axle kit from the guy selling stuff? if so, yes, still interested. windshield gasket would save bosshog from having to buy my second one, which would in turn save me from having to order another one

Yep and yep.

If I didn't delete shipping address it will, along with bumper, be coming today

May send again, just in case.

Coming your way, today....

Throwing the carb rebuild kit from seller in package, too.

I don't have any channel with a 3.9" ID or I'd have cut and sent for bumper and thickest I can break and have on hand is 16Ga.

Hope this one is determined to be useable and worth the freight.

Thanks to Pablo Cruiser, picked up an awesome pair of early Asco hubs.

Can't wait until the first day I get to try 'em out!!

Thanks, Pablo!!!

Even if a departure from OE, gotta get points for these, man. Very cool.

Thanks again.

Not much a departure, only by a year or two?

Think Pighead or Ige said 74, so probably so.

As much as or more than the chrome windshield/glass surrounds I'm now bent on having.

Seems they may not have been on pre-74 either, but c'est la vie. They're going on my '72, anyway. Hahaha.
