KS Vintage Brush/Grill Guard F/S

[Ironhorse]

Posting this for Dave K. who has first dibs as he posted he is looking for such.

Solid and heavy built, made from 1 1/2'' x 3/8'' strap and plate. Measures 25 1/2'' mounting bolt center to center. 1'' mount hole slots at 6'' center to center. Not sure of original application, looks to be factory after market built but have not found a tag or stamp. A bit of welding and can be made to fit any frame horn spread for mounting. Not flat across the front, has a 1'' factory formed V starting from center to outer edges. $100, prefer local pickup or possible delivery in Wichita, Ks. area. If shipping (UPS local shipper) money order or $$ only, do not have Paypal.

That would look nice powder coated white. I'd be interested if Dave K passes pending ship cost to business address at 87103 and dimensions allow bolt-on for a 72 Chevy.

That would do the trick for just about anyone. I'd get the surface rust and paint off and either spray paint or powder coat.

I have one from a member here, a Luverne (still has sticker) that I plan to put on at some point.

Hi Ironhorse

Thanks, I think that will do the trick just the way it is. I'll shoot you a PM on the side to discuss. Thanks for posting the pics and giving me first dibs, appreciate it.

Regards, Dave.

Well I hope you do get it. I think the owner has had that thing for sale on here before, but wasn't able to find a buyer. I want one on my truck to prevent a deer or dog hit breaking out my plastic (egg crate) grill.

Shipping such a heavy, large part as this usually kills the deal as it did last time I listed this. This is really stout and a bit of TLC could be made to look really good on a truck.

DeadheadNM, thanks to you and SSTim for the pic. Way Cool.

Thanks for posting this Bimco info, never knew before but always thought the guard was a after market mfg. and not home made. The powder coat looks great.

Was the swap meet you you went to at the Lawrence Fair Grounds? I usually go to that but could not make it this year. Randy aka teeitup sets up there. Great guy who has a LOT of parts and LOVES to talk trucks.

Yes sir , that's where i found it, and thanks for the compliment. Talked to Randy while i was there too. He is a great guy that loves these old trucks. This particular guard had never been on a truck, no rust and extremely straight. Looks just like the one for sale above. All we did was powder coat it

Gary,

I'll take the brush guard and thanks for posting it.

Cheers, Dave.
