Did they make them?? i know they have the bumpers with two small pushers on em but do they make actual pushbars or brush guards? sorry for the poor wording lol idk how else to say it

Here's an aftermarket piece that the original owner must have put on. My brother had a push bar like you see on cop cars on his '68.

Actually the brush guard Shaky has on his truck is a factory GM piece that could be ordered through the Chevy Accessory catalog and dealer installed or installed by the owner. Here is a popular aftermarket brush guard from the same era.

**72K20** · 10-06-2010, 12:46 PM

Check out board member "bignbad". His truck avatar has what I believe you are talking about. I also have one but yet to be installed. I can grab a picture of it for you if that would help.

longhorn396 · 10-07-2010, 09:04 AM

bignbads are exactly what im talkin about. i sent him a pm to see where i could find a set at

**72K20** · 10-07-2010, 09:51 AM

I was thinking that is what you were after, as that is exactly what I wanted as well. After searching and posting "Wanted To Buy" on this site, I fianlly found mine at a swap meet.

longhorn396 · 10-07-2010, 10:05 AM

How much did u give for em??

**72K20** · 10-07-2010, 10:13 AM

I gave the guy $30. He did not have any hardware, just the pushbar. But a quick run to Tractor Supply for some Grade 8 bolts and we're good to go, as soon as I repaint it.

longhorn396 · 10-07-2010, 10:20 AM

Man thats cheap. Hey keep an eye out for me if u find another that cheap shoot me a pm. Where do they mount at on the frame or what??

longhorn396 · 10-12-2010, 10:20 AM

The one i am looking for is called a bull bar i just found out but i cant find where to buy
one. Help would be appreciated and will it even work on my truck??

longhorn396 · 11-01-2010, 09:56 AM

There also called cattle bars. i still havent found any

*stich626* · 11-01-2010, 10:08 AM

I have one that is a centered bar(two) that has two uprights and then 2 3"tubes that go across (that you'd mount lights on)
it's for a 73-87
will it bolt onto a 67-72
I'm guess'n not.. but if the frame rails are the same width. it woek wit some fab'n..
anyone have any idea..
my 88 ford looked killer with it.
the first post with pic is the same bar thats on a wrecker a mile from me

longhorn396 · 11-01-2010, 10:14 AM

longhorn396 · 11-01-2010, 10:24 AM

Yea thanks man tell me when u find out

lofly'a · 11-01-2010, 11:27 AM

i have one of the factory ones on my 72, i never knew they were factory pieces. i assumed that they were local like many rear bumpers that had the dealers name and city/state stamped in them, as they were very common in the late 60's to mid seventies.

longhorn396 · 11-01-2010, 03:04 PM

i love the looks of the bull bars they make the truck look bulletproof or something they look awesome

I'd love to get my hands on one of tho's guards! But i'd settle for a side shot of one if possible that shows the mount tab detail. I'd like to make something like it for my spare tire carrier.

I'll see if I can dig mine out on the w end..
the sides unbolt from the cross bars..
and I can trace the shape of the side uprights.
and just mail it to you..(the trace not the bar)
