You guys that have brush or grille guards please post up some pics, I have my eye on one finally at a local salvage yard that I hope to get for my truck.

Lou Boffa · 03-11-2014, 06:19 PM

I did pull it off, but still have it. Definitely a ranch truck. Might put it back one of these days.

This is a horrible brush guard on a Cheyenne super from the farm down the road. Its been treated like a lumber wagon its whole life. Still has a lot of good parts on it.

I've always wanted one like that.

Daddy'O · 03-12-2014, 12:36 PM

Here's the one on Greenie - It was a dealer installed option according to the original owner.

Lou Boffa · 03-12-2014, 02:01 PM

Love the 4 eyes mod, Wayne. Yeah, I believe mine was dealer installed and I think it was fabricated by the same folks that made my step bumper D&D Ranch Supply from Sequin, TX.

In The Ten Ring · 03-12-2014, 02:33 PM

I don't think guards look very classy but I'd definitely want one if I hit a deer or had another dog run out in front of me!

I may get one in the future for my truck.

There was a push bar on a 71 suburban in the movie sleepover bandets. Almost looked like hickey enterprises. Wouldn't mind hooking that up to my rig

westong · 03-13-2014, 07:20 AM

Got this one at a wrecking yard a few weeks ago...not sure if im going to install it on my truck or sale it. It is in really unbelievable shape for sitting in a wrecking yard for who knows how long. The rear matching bumper was there also, going to go snag it up soon.

Iron Hauler · 03-13-2014, 08:39 AM

I went yesterday to the yard to take a closer look and it was something jury rigged from a later model truck, didn't fit right at all so the search continues.

In The Ten Ring · 03-13-2014, 08:39 AM

If you decide to sell, I definately want it. Can I get first dibs?

If they are too big or bulky they don't look very good but I think it's hard to beet the ones from the factory or dealer installed like westong posted. They conform to the grille area without being to massive.

Yes and no. It isn't the WTB forum but he did say he wasn't sure if he wants to keep it and I figured I'd risk asking. I am a paying member at least so hopefullly this indiscretion won't annoy the mods too much! LoL

If he won't sell then I'll still be happy...it will protect his grill at least. I have never hit a deer but it's common in WV. I hit a dog once, about 2K damge to my car. I expected the dog to have to be put down....I went back for him but thankfully, the dog was literallly "walking it off." LoL

Ironically I was driving slow, hoping to avoid a deer hit and still hit that dog! It ran out so close there was no time to react and I was fully alert. I'd sure hate that happening to my truck.

elpound · 03-01-2018, 05:55 AM

Here is one I plan to put on my 57 2 ton.

In The Ten Ring · 03-01-2018, 01:52 PM

That's great....I hope that grill guard can give you some extra protection.

*Impressive truck you have there....
