I kind of like that tubular looking bumper, but I’ve never seen it done on the front before. I actually thought about something similar for the rear of my truck. Back in the 60’s it was fairly common for gassers to use a large piece of pipe (complete with pipe caps on the ends) for a rear bumper. The pipe would then be filled with lead to add weight to the rear of the vehicle. I thought it looked very purposeful and race oriented.
If the money had not run out going for the gasser look on my truck, I seriously thought about using a 55 Pontiac split bumper up front with a Moon tank in between. The split bumpers might need to be shortened to fit the proper size tank, but the profile of the Pontiac bumper is very similar to the stock stepside rear bumper, which could make the setup look pretty natural.
Here’s a Google image showing the Pontiac bumper. I’d only be using the portion that’s chrome:
