Re: bumper guard
Very homemade looking. I've seen some aftermarkets look similar to that, but they looked good. From the photo the bars don't even look even.

Re: bumper guard
It's a bull bar but it is either warped or poorly made in respect for being factory

Re: bumper guard
The bars are perfectly straight, the whole thing is just twisted, cause i loosened the outer nuts.

Re: bumper guard
I dont think its homade, because theirs seals on both sides of each bar, and the truck i pulled it off of, had other chrome peices on it, like it was some sort of package.

Re: bumper guard
I think what you have is aftermarket.
I have some on my 78,but higher and no rubber.I took the huge cross bar assembly off. Maybe you can see it in the picture.  Mike. /

Re: bumper guard
At best it is an aftermarket accessory added on by someone. It is no way a factory piece.

Re: bumper guard
It's regular old bumper guards with chromed tubes bolted between them...custom made. It's definitely home grown,no matter how well done.
