Here you go.....What type of insulation are you using on your firewall/bulkhead? Bumper is looking good
Fortunately you live in a State where all of the drivers are at the top of their game.Yep....could see that being an issue. Could also imagine the amount of tears that would come out of my face if that happened
Beautiful work! Do you think you would sell these bumpers individually? Would it work for a 75 series too?Painted this thing rattle can satin black and bolted her on.....not to come off again for a little bit.
Fun thing with black paint....you get to see all your flaws. I've got a little more grinding to do in a few areas I'm not super happy with but for the most part, it's pretty well sorted.View attachment 2604536View attachment 2604537View attachment 2604538View attachment 2604539View attachment 2604540
I bet the door rate for that bar would make your billfold scream Iike a little girl.
You're a smart man Cruiserdan......the price tag on this would make grown men weep

I had forgotten it was a stretched 80 frame.The price would be over the moon and his truck is on a 80 series frame.
@cruiserdan has it right....it would be a shocking amount of money to do one. We have a pile of time in this one, which is expected of course on the first of anything that is built. The next one would come together a lot quicker I think but it would still be expensive.I had forgotten it was a stretched 80 frame.
I understand the expense. But there is a complete lack of options for aftermarket/hi-lift rear bumpers for the 75/79 series pickups.@cruiserdan has it right....it would be a shocking amount of money to do one.

I spent months looking around.....there's stuff out there but none of it appealed to me.....and one other slight issue....nothing for a mutt of a truck like mine with an 80s frame and the 79 bodyI understand the expense.

Fantastic work either way.
Haha!I spent months looking around.....there's stuff out there but none of it appealed to me.....and one other slight issue....nothing for a mutt of a truck like mine with an 80s frame and the 79 body
I've been eyeballing the other 79 now.......I kind of like having a step bumper...which the other one doesn't have.
I'll be the best scout I can be@c2dfj45 .... “Putting the serious hustle on now.....I'm headed out for a weekend of camping in a place called Tate's Hell....somewhere 6 hours north of Tampa. Neat story about the place”.

Definitely need a scouting report. May be something our local Cruiser club would be interested in.
Just remember this is an unpaid position.I'll be the best scout I can be
