Show me your bumpers, brush bars, and push bars.

Hey Yall, I've been doing some thinking about how I want the front end of my 79 k20 to look. So I was hoping I could have some of you that have bought any really cool push bars, brush bars, and bumpers or made them yourselfs could post some pictures on here. Just trying to get a referance!
Thanks!

Re: Show me your bumpers, brush bars, and push bars.

I got my stuff off of a 1985 CUCV
no brush guard unforunately
paid $100 for both bumpers,and the mounting brackets and d rings and mounts

these are the most heavy bumpers I have seen on a C10 that wasn't custom built.
these are readily availiable and cheap, and they are verrrrrrrrrrrrry tough. the rear bumper I have has hauled an 18' trailer with a 74 k10 in tow

no reese hitch for me anymore. there are 4 frame brackets for the rear so it is more stout than a reese hitch.

bought the headache rack for $50
put lights on it, good floodlights I paid $40for

toolbox was free-taking it off though-takes too much room in the bed






put some PT cruiser buckets in for free, bought a $20 center console (had crack, walmart had it on clearance) to replace the worn out bench

-Cucv bumpers etc WILL fit on early 70s trucks
they bolt right on

you just have to make 4 holes for the D ring shackle mounts

That's actually pretty sweet! Though we don't have anybody arround here that is parting out a CUCV, but it is giving me kind of an idea of what I want.

Re: Show me your bumpers, brush bars, and push bars.

there is a site,
Steelsoldiers.com

dedicated to CUCV restoration and mods

plenty of modded 1980-1998 chevy pickups

that's where I got the ideas for my truck
they also sell bumpers etc

most of the members are close to you
