Who sells them for the 80 and up body style? All I really see are the lmc small ones.

alot of people make their own..as these trucks are considered outdated not many people buy these items anymore there is a place down here in the city that sells all kinds of things like this tho and makes them its called Able welding and its in Brooklyn . I believe they have a site otherwise check van iderstein

i had good luck finding them in local junk yards

JimmyFloyd · 05-10-2010, 10:17 AM

Are you looking for a new one, or one of the CCUV style ones? I might be able to get a CCUV style one, but you'd have to pick it up. I'm not too far from you though.

How much do you think that would run me?

shloopter · 05-11-2010, 01:39 AM

I had a muffler shop make me one in the 80's. Make sure they use a mandrel tube bender.

That is quite awesome but I'd make my own before I'd fork that cash over.

JimmyFloyd · 05-11-2010, 10:03 AM

I can check and see. I am thinking it'll be less than $120 for sure.

I took a slightly bent CUCV brushguard and cut it down to just a middle pushbar...

Me too. The older ones are better quality and much thicker steel than the ones you can still buy from LMC and others.

Well, since it was in the 80's, you are forgiven

JimmyFloyd · 05-18-2010, 02:39 PM

Here is the one that I can get:

trenchwarfare · 05-19-2010, 09:50 PM

How much?

JimmyFloyd · 05-19-2010, 10:24 PM

I'll let you know tomorrow exactly what it'll cost. Probably be $50-100 at most.

Any news yet? Address?

Blazen Off-Road has the best that I've seen, both in quality and price. Not to mention they actually make the bumpers that will fit the early 70's models. Most off-road bumper makers I've seen only do 80 and up (at best), and it ticks me off seeing the cookie-cutter crap for the newer trucks only. Not to mention they charge insane amounts of money for stuff that isn't really unique.

This is the one I intend to get for my truck eventually: http://www.blazenoffroad.com/store/C...per-69-91.html

JimmyFloyd · 05-27-2010, 01:55 PM

Yes, sorry. It looks like it would be $75. It is located in a junkyard here. I can either pick it up for you, if you want to paypal the money, and then you can grab it at your convenience, or you can pick it up at the yard itself, which I can give you the info for it.

Let me know if you are interested.
